I've never been much of a reader of novels; yet became hooked last year when Starz premiered Outlander the series. Not one to wait for 6 months to find out what happened I turned to the books. I devoured all 8 books and am hoping that a 9th book in this series emerges.

Love it so much I've introduced many friends and family members to the series and books.

Diana Gabaldon is a great writer. Has imagination, uses the power of words, and references a lot of history in this series of books. Truly a great writer in my opinion.

I really enjoyed all eight of these books.  I read them on Kindle and when I finished one of them I was ready to read the next.  I am so looking forward to April 15 when the next book is available.  Historical fiction are my favorite type of books to read.  I learned more about the Civil War  and especially the aftermath of the war.  I have recommended this series of books to many of my friends.

This is one of the best series of books I have read in a long time. The author has done a superb job of story telling. This series kept my attention all the way through. I particularly liked book seven. It did a great job of filling in details missing in the story.

thoroughly enjoyed reading this series; hope there is more to come. I do a lot of proof-reading IRL and had quit reading for a while because so much of what I read felt like I was proofreading, but did NOT get that feeling with this series!!

this was a wonderful series, I strongly encourage you to purchase all 5 books.  They tell the stories of all the characters you will be introduced to in the first book.  I felt like the descriptions of the time/era were well done and the stories flowed.  The conversations were easy to determine who was speaking at the time.  The characters were well developed and you were drawn to the next book of the series just as soon as the first book ended.
I am not going to provide the spoilers you usually read in these reviews.  Buy them and enjoy, they are excellent reading at a very good price

I really hope this series will have more books ... I didn't want to stop reading.

Generally - I don't like reading romance novels which drag on for a series - that is one couple's romance for more than one book. While I don't mind reading series where each book have different characters find their happily-ever-after, I really don't like the stoppers or fillers which are used to drag on one relationship through out successive books

Not so with this series!! Each book brought out a different facet of the main characters relationship and once they finally got together, there were no silly misunderstandings or fights to keep the story going but a gentle flow of their development and adapting to each other. Also - the romance while important to the central theme didn't involve the couple constantly getting "pants feelings" for each other especially in the middle of danger. Instead - the characters worked independently and intelligently, other supporting characters are very well fleshed out and the mystery and detective work takes the central stand and keeps you totally engaged.

If there was one complaint (and this is such a small one - you may stop reading at this point) its just that the magical battles are rather on an enormous scale with quite a bit of collateral damage, that there was this niggling voice that kept asking why the governments of the world hadn't banded together to destroy the magic users. But then again ... it didn't spoil the enjoyment of all three books in this series at all :)

Its just that good - I really didn't want it to end!!

I read the 8 book box set. I have become addicted to this series. I was so glad I have found this one too. I'm sure you'll find it as addictive as I have.

These books are so captivating. I was hooked in the first few paragraphs. LOVE the way each book introduces a character in the next. I'm hoping there will be more, following the part of the family introduced in the third of the series.

First of all, this review is for the entire 7 book series. Having read SciFy since the age of 9 (now 67) I've been introduced to many versions of 'time travel.' This one was by far and away the most intriguing and nearly impossible to put down series of all. There was plenty enough 'tech' for the techies but this was about relationships. I started reading Forbes stuff by accident and started with the Forgotten series - which was also excellent. Then I saw this set and thought why not. Sure glad I read it! Like all really great series, you are both glad it finished and sorry at the same time.

This is the 2nd book in an 8 book collection.  The depth of character, the historical facts (and obvious research) and the directions of the plot(s) make this a fascinating series.  I wish more people had discovered this author and read this and the Lymond Series.

This is about the whole series...5 books in all...so far. Captivating storyline. Good character development. Each book leaves you wanting more. Focused, of course, on a couple of key characters who spend their time 'almost' saving our planet and her human population from total destruction. Stories...within stories...within stories. Fascinating societal & human developments that will keep you up at night trying to read JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER! Enjoy!
