Ok. So. After years of people saying I needed to read this, I finally got around to it. I had high expectations for this book and unfortunately, they weren't met. 
 Well, it's not that it's a bad book. It's definitely got an interesting premise - a woman accidentally falls into between 2 stones in a "henge" in Scotland and finds herself 200 years in the past. It's just that it's 700 pages long and the escapades start to get repetitive and ridiculous. How many times can one person be flogged? How many times can one woman, in like 6 months time, almost be raped? Was homosexual rape really that openly rampant? For that matter, was rape really that rampant? If so, I seriously do wonder why women didn't walk around with chastity belts. The hero, Jamie, gets beaten, shot, tortured, etc etc so many times! I just don't think one person would have that much bad luck. 
 I will willingly admit that I know nothing about 1700s Scotland and their ways, but the injustices in this book seemed rather cliched. As if there were a check list of things that modern minds do not like that happened in the 1700s that were put in the book. Child abuse? Check. Rape and/or attempted rape? Check. Subjugation of women? Check. Beating women? Check. Accusing women of being witches? Check. Abusing prisoners? Check. Military/Gentry abusing power? Check. 
 In my opinion, the book was just too long. It could have ended way before it did. It was interesting and it wasn't that I suffered through it, but I was so happy to finally finish it. I don't relish reading 7 more in this series when they are all as equally long.
