I just finished Outlander too, and am 2/3 of the way through the second book. Have not seen any of the filmed series. There are some things I can read but cringe but not really cannot watch.

I go with a family born to what we consider witchlike powers and then the demonic and angelic world, with elementals thrown in. In a fantasy, the author can create what the reality will be. But doubtless readers who read a lot of fantasy have expectations that my books probably won't meet. But an author writes what comes to them. I'm having my husband read this one to where I am which is 31,000 words. I plan for 50-55,000 depending on what it takes.<br />Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-63331183146914982932016-04-30T06:42:07.398-07:002016-04-30T06:42:07.398-07:00I read the Outlander books when they first came ou...I read the Outlander books when they first came out and then lost interest several books down the line. I have all now except her most recent. She really does get off on details and I am more a people/character reader. I watched the first season but the second book is a tough one and I am so far not watching the second season. I am not overly fond of TV watching except for movies and documentaries. I might see it when it's available to watch all at once or at my convenience. They have good actors playing Jamie and Claire. I enjoyed the sexuality of them, but rape is never enjoyable to watch or read about. The interesting part about the rest of her books is she stays with the times for history and sets these fictional characters into it. It wasn't until recent emphasis on those times that I learned how to pronounce Culloden lol and I still have to work to say it right.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-49424975690367269322016-04-30T04:29:40.495-07:002016-04-30T04:29:40.495-07:00My daughter loves the fantasy genre which usually ...My daughter loves the fantasy genre which usually has an underlying romance or two. She is reading Outlander. When HBO was free from Xfni.... this past week I binge watched Outlander for the first season. Ran out of time to watch the rest. Now, I may want to read the books. Such attention to history and culture of the period was intriguing. A little too intense on the nudity for mytaste although I am not a prude. I just wanted less of it.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053208644196545549noreply@blogger.com
