But I'm very fond of Lord John as a character and can't wait to read the rest of his series (only in order now! I read this after The Private Matter). ( ) I put off reading the Lord John material for the longest time because I wasn't sure how Gabaldon would handle writing from a strictly eighteenth-century perspective, but I have to say she did well here. I was engrossed from the very beginning and could feel and see the setting clearly. I love John's character in the Outlander books. In my opinion, he's one of the most complex in the series, despite being a relatively minor (but important) character, so it's a pleasure to read from his perspective. Although this is short (practically a miracle on Gabaldon's part), I found the story to have just the right amount of action and intrigue. I've seen other reviewers remark that they are unsure what the point of this story is. I have two answers to that. First, a story doesn't have to have a "point," other than being a tale to read. Second, I think it serves to introduce us to John as a protagonist. It alludes to the dangers he would face were his homosexuality to be revealed, and it gives us a glimpse into what his life is like after Ardsmuir. I'm definitely interested in continuing on with the rest of his books and novellas after reading this one. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
