Well, it looks like I have a new favorite obsession. Outlander is fantastic! While some warned me that the series was long and violent at times, I didn't take issue with the pacing or the realistic look at 18th century Scotland. This was one of the best romance novels I've ever read. The characters were fully fleshed out, the setting was described in vivid detail, Claire's relationships, first with Frank and then Jaime, rang true. I listened to the audio, drinking up the accents like the wine and ale served up at Lallybroch. Looking forward to more from Diana Gabaldon.
