If you've read the Outlander series...(series spoilers)
The post below in the literary man thread reminded me of this.
Please tell me the second book gets better. I flew through the first book and was dying to read the second, but I started it and instantly found it really depressing. It has now been sitting on my nightstand for a few weeks. I can't bring myself to read it because I find the whole situation so sad (Jamie not getting to raise his daughter...although I assume they'll go back in time again and he'll meet her as an adult...it's still depressing to me). Does the book "redeem" itself in some sense? Should I just get over being a big baby and keep reading?
Re: If you've read the Outlander series...(series spoilers)
Does the third book follow the original characters or does she use the second book as a jumping off point for new "main characters?"
I don't even remember TBH. It's been years since I read them. Ditto Madisen though that the series is not a romance romance.
Oh no, I totally disagree with everyone else in this thread!!
I LOVE the Outlander books -- I'm actually currently reading all of them for a second time.
I think that ALL of her books (including Outlander) are a bit boring for the first bit -- how long the boring bit lasts depends on the book. One of them (maybe the 4th, maybe the 5th? They're all one huge book in my mind) was pretty boring for maybe the first half.
But they are so, so worth it. I love Jamie and Claire's love story. And no -- she doesn't start ignoring Jamie and Claire to focus on other characters. She does bring more and more "main" characters in as the books progress, but Jamie and Claire (particularly Claire) are still central to all of the stories.
How far did you get in Book 2? I found the beginning jarring because I finished Book 1 with Jamie and Claire all happy and in France, and all of a sudden Book 2 opened in the 20th century. I hated Roger and Bri at first because I didn't care about them, I only cared about Claire and Jamie. But the majority of Book 2 does focus on Jamie and Claire's time together in France around 1744 -- it's one of my favorite periods out of all the books.
There are tons of Outlander fans on the Nest Book Club board -- post over there if you decide to keep reading :-)
