this book was insane. how do these keep getting worse and why are they published at 1k+ pages.

now that Culloden has ended the author has really lost the plot but decided to continue on, her new goal: the Revolutionary War. Jamie and Claire really can't catch a break. 

At this point however, Claire and Jamie are no longer the fun little couple we know and love, Jamie is now a macho controlling man and Claire now lets him get away with it while she toils away with all the women doing 'womanly things'. What I liked about the story no longer exists. 

The plot goes as follows:
-300 pages of nothing happening at a big Scottish gathering on the side of a mountain
-200 pages at Fraser's Ridge Jamie recruiting a militia and then disbanding it (with the most horrific graphic cabin discovery I've ever read)
-300 pages of nothing happening at Jocasta's wedding
-finally, something happens! but all in one chapter: a murder, fire, and evil man with everything resolved
-200 pages of militia from a random person's journal perspective
-

Roger hung and then saved

(yet again the most horrific thing and all the characters are super insensitive towards his recovery for 100+ more pages)
-100 pages of this weird climax with the dumbest plan I've ever heard

to kill Stephen Bonnet (SPOILER unsuccessful)

Ending with the revelation that

Jem can indeed go through time

and also the return of

Ian !who they've been talking and moaning about all book but then ask him 0!ZERO! questions when he shows up!!!!

Not only was this books train wreck it was full of spelling mistakes and continuity errors!!! But honestly that tracks cause there's clearly no editor for a 1000pg book.
