Having also read all the Outlander books and also waited with baited breath for “Bees” I am also so disappointed. It’s so slow. There’s no real story. Nothing is moving along. I wanted time travel, I wanted answers. I wanted to see Jamie in the future. I can’t believe it took 7 years to write this. I think DG may only be in it for the money now. I did read that she doesn’t allow anyone to read the manuscripts before publishing, and I can certainly believe that for all sorts of reasons.
