Query: A Thousand Page Disappointment

I loved the Outlander series, and waited eagerly for this next volume. I was hugely disappointed. The book is laden with excrutiating detail and events that do not contribute to the development of the plot (which was only vaguely present) or the understanding of the people involved.. The first 200 pages describe the events of one afternoon! Frequent references were made to characters introduced in prior books, without the gentle reminders that most authors of series will give you. I was racking my brain to remember these people and how they fit into the story and the lives of the Fraser family. I gave it a valiant try, but I just couldn't finish the book. What a huge disappointment. Save your money and your time.
