You know, the more I hear about The Wounded Name the more I look forward to reading it!

However, I think quality is a whole lot more important than quantity!

Haha, that's true. I've not read the Outlander books but I've heard a bit about them, and it doesn't sound great :P

It's a ride, that's for sure!

She says she read FotH, and some of the characters and their arcs sound fairly familiar. Personally, I noped out mentally when she got to the Highland apricot harvest in the middle of the Little Ice Age. Finished the book but honestly wished I hadn't wasted my time. :/

Yeah, think I'll be giving this one a miss...

Shamelessly chiming in to say that I read the first book in the Outlander series a few years ago and then watched the first season of the tv show, to try and get a fair opinion... and nope. There's a lot of unnecessary violence (a lot of it sexual and suspiciously looking like it's just there for shock value) and I don't think it's super well written or anything, and also I side-eye Gabaldon a lot for being against fanfiction when the series was basically born because of it!

(Also: I read a little while ago that she considers The Jacobite trilogy as an inspiration... and bah, all of the fanfiction you guys have written is 1000000000 times better than "Outlander". I have spoken!)

Yep, that's about the impression I got. Good to know I'm making the right decision keeping away!
