Outlander, 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition
Diana Gabaldon
by Diana Gabaldon
In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, finds her life irrevocably altered when a walk through an ancient stone circle in the Scottish Highlands transports her back to 1743. Thrust into a volatile era of clan warfare and political intrigue, Claire is a stranger in a dangerous land, forced to navigate a world where her modern sensibilities mark her as a suspicious outsider. To survive this brutal landscape, she must rely on Jamie Fraser, a gallant and headstrong Highlander whose honor and courage challenge everything she knows.
Their relationship evolves from a marriage of necessity into a profound, soul-deep bond that defies the constraints of time. As Claire finds herself caught between her life in the twentieth century and the magnetic pull of the eighteenth, she must grapple with an impossible choice: return to the man she left behind or embrace a love that threatens to shatter her reality. Spanning decades and continents, this sweeping saga blends meticulous historical detail with high-stakes adventure and a searing romance.
It is a story of resilience, the relentless pursuit of destiny, and the enduring power of a connection that refuses to be severed by the boundaries of history.
Amazon CustomerLoved the stories, but SO graphic
"I started out watching on TV. About 3 episodes in my cheeks were flaming scarlet and I found myself wondering if it was TV nonsense to raise viewership and maybe the books would be more reasonable. Well... they weren't. If flagrant and seeming WAAAYYYY excessive and DETAILED sex scenes aren't for you, you may have to pass on this series. I read the books despite them, not for them. I found these stories to be so well told, the characters so compelling that I stuck with them and enjoyed them immensely. The only disappointment being that the last book wasn't ready yet when I was ready for it. Skill of writing and presentation of this particular world, beyond 5 of 5. Would I recommend them to others? Yes based on the story. But not without significant qualifiers and consideration of who I was recommending them to. But the stories are great. ["

Gianna DorinneIf you haven’t read any of these books yet, BEWARE.
"I rated this 5 stars because of how much I absolutely LOVED the first book. The characters are so well developed it’s hard to think of them as characters and not real people. The story is truly mind blowing, and the attention to detail about the history of the time is incredible. Truly a stunning piece of work in all aspects. Not to mention I’m completely head over heels for Jamie Fraser. *swoon* No better male hero has ever existed. That being said, I unfortunately have to report that the series continually gets worse as you go on. I still greatly enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd for the most part, although I wasn’t as on board with where the story was going and it seemed like Diana kept introducing more and more wild plot lines with no explanations. Then the 4th book. Oh where to begin. What an utter disappointment. The characters I love so much have started to become a shell of who they were in the first book. New characters are mediocre at best, and hateful at their worst. Not hateful because they’re good villains, no; they’re hateful because they’re so pathetically constructed and underwhelmingly developed. And the amount of detail about things that don’t matter is so hard to get through. You could probably eliminate a good 300 pages of just description and the story would be exactly the same. Speaking of the actual story, this amazing action/adventure/romance/fantasy series that I have come to know and love felt much more like a cheesy soap opera than anything in the 4th book. Yikes. I’m currently on the 5th book, The Fiery Cross, and I’m only a few chapters in and already I’m bored and disappointed. Let’s hope it turns around.....But yeah. I still recommend it because the first is so amazing it’s worth it, but beware...you’re signing up for heartbreak. **UPDATE: I quit. I read about halfway through the 5th book and decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I looked up a summary online and true to form, it continues to spiral downward with outrageous plot lines. I’m not even sure how a writer DOES that - goes from fantastic/amazing/revolutionary to insultingly terrible within the same series, but never fear, Diana is here to show us it is possible. The first chapter of the 5th book is literally called “The Longest Day” and BY GEORGE I am here to tell you that it was literally the longest day(s!! because it is that long) of my life struggling through it. I don’t even know how I can love and hate something so passionately at the same time. Is this what it’s like to be a teenager in a vampire drama series?? Just do yourself a favor and only buy the first two books. If there is anybody who actually does want to continue reading the 5th and 6th books because they’re still in denial, hmu because I do not need that reminder of disappointment and sorrow sitting on my shelf.
