If you are an Outlander fan as I am be forewarned. It is quite likely you will be disappointed after your long wait. The first 2/3rds of the book are quite slow. The bear attack was interesting but concerned people who are irrelevant to the overall story. William is not coming off as a well written or very likeable character. Nothing seemed to hang together. The ending was like a cliffhanger tv show ending. But at least with a tv show you usually only have to wait one year for the resolution.
