All of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander books are outstanding, love filled and marvelous reading experiences. These stories are well researched albeit fictional accounts of history as lived by our protagonists Jamie and Claire Fraser, also our favorite love interests throughout these eight, soon to be nine of ten books in the Outlander series. It could be classified as historical, romantic fantasy but Outlander is also so much more that won’t necessarily fit neatly into a particular category. Ms. Gabaldon’s has done something right in her many Outlander books because her first book, Outlander, was published in 1990. This is 2021, so 31(almost 32)years later there is a highly successful STARZ series now getting ready to start showing it’s 6th Season early in 2022, her ninth book in this series will hit bookstores November 23rd and her fans are as faithful as ever if not more so as a second generation has now been introduced to this author.
One can easily forget the time travel elements in the stories because Ms. G’s characters are so well drawn. There are really no small characters because she finds apt spaces for each of them. There is violence. The 18th Century in Scotland and the new world of America was full of violent events so her meticulous research does not glorify the violence; it is but a backdrop. The same can be said of the sex in these books. It is loving, beautiful, honest, sometimes even funny but never gratuitous. The words that come from Jamie to Claire, Claire to Jamie as well as to all of her characters are deep, loving and memorable. Just ask any of the fans of these books. They’ll say the same.
I hope this review helps others in choosing to read all of the Outlander books. To say that I love the story the tell would be an understatement. This is my third time through while many of her long time fans reread them all each year. This is the best I can say to recommend all to just read Outlander. I think you’ll be hooked; but see for yourself.

Fine Series - Bummer State of Book
The series is great! But the handling was an issue. It came wrapped but also damaged. As a bibliophile I do my best to keep the books I buy in perfect condition. These ones arrived with the edges of the spine and covers slightly torn.
