The length of these books makes them very difficult to review. So much happens in them and there are so many storylines, some of which I dislike and some of which I absolutely love. These books are so immersive with so many events that it just feels like you're reading about the life of the Frasers, rather than reading a constructed novel with a story arc and a climax and all that kind of thing (not to say that the books aren't dramatic, they definitely are). I really love that element to the books, and particularly I like the depth of each character that this kind of storytelling allows. I love the world Gabaldon has created, and it makes me sad that I am nearing the end of the series.
