Honestly a bit of a drag without time travel as a source of tension.

The eagerly awaited fifth volume in the award-winning series of historical novels takes place in 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser's wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy--a time-traveler's certain knowledge.

The weakest so far of the series. Character development went straight downhill and there was a lot more shark jumping and a lot less organized plot line than the previous books. I’ll still read the next one, though

I've loved the Outlander saga so far but this was the weakest books so far. Nothing happened except for readind about daily chores and whenever you thought: "finally something interesting is happening" - again after 1 or 2 short chapters it turned out to be a tiny story and back to boring life again. Really hope the next book is better again…

So far it is quite good, despite mostly telling the story of how the day-to-day lives of the Fraser family are it is managing an interesting and enthralling story with heart-stopping moments. Way too many near-death experiences for favorite characters. There are still longish chapters that I tend to skip over
