I guess they each take a long time to research and write. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700671 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:48:41 +0000 ShootingStar 2700671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read all the books and I feel like it slowed down for one really terrible book in the middle, then got better with the last one or two. I can't remember if I didn't like 5 or 6, but one of them was just kind of pointless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700653 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:16:49 +0000 LulaBee 2700653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read all of the books and I did feel it slowed down a bit at the end but was still sad they stopped. The characters felt like family and I missed them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700649 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 12:50:38 +0000 Bao 2700649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caitlanc: good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700298 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 18:57:24 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2700298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: more characters more stories to tell. This means that it took longer to get back to any particular story or character and they only joined together towards the end if at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700295 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 18:47:56 +0000 babypugs 2700295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the first three, but was really only into the first two. I feel like the plot died halfway through the third and haven't had the desire to read the fourth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700256 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:09:44 +0000 caitlanc 2700256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like I'm the opposite of most so far. Voyager was my least favorite and the middle couple were my favorite but I still like the most recent ones. Like for @synchronicity, I've read the series a few times and they blur together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700253 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:04:09 +0000 Bao 2700253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: thank you! @snarkybiochemist: I wonder why it goes from really good to cave finish...hmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700213 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:22:15 +0000 SteelerGirl 2700213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some books were definitely slower than others, but I liked the ones that referenced American history because I'm more familiar with that than Scottish history.<br /> I've read the whole series 3 times, and I even have an autographed copy of book 1. (I happen to live in Diana Gabaldon's hometown!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700202 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:15:24 +0000 raspberries 2700202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: They actually just announced it was September! I don't think they have a day yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700199 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:14:46 +0000 mrsrain 2700199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've finished 1 and 2 (as audio books) and I'm on 3 now. LOVE them so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700190 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:07:33 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2700190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a hard time getting through 5 and absolutely could not finish 6 and thus have not read 7 or 8. 3 was probably my favorite book </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700173 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 14:23:29 +0000 Bao 2700173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: when does the next season air? ETA: I could google but fear I'll find spoilers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700114 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:51:02 +0000 raspberries 2700114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: For me, it was - I really like all the historical research that goes into the novels, and that definitely doesn't change. I also think it depends on how invested in the characters you feel at that point - either you'll want to read on because you love the characters, or you'll be like, "Meh, that's enough."</p> <p>I'm actually really hoping the show continues on past the 4th season, because I think they'll cut out a lot of the extraneous stuff and make it a more streamlined story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700108 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:46:12 +0000 Bao 2700108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: do you think the last 4 are even worth the time then? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700104 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:40:13 +0000 raspberries 2700104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the third one best (Voyager... which is what this newest season of the show will follow, so I'm super excited for it), followed by the first one (Outlander.) After the fourth one, the books definitely slow down/change pace - there are so many "main characters" and intertwining storylines that it seems to take a while to advance the story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700103 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:39:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 2700103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yes! And the show is really good too! Can't wait for the new season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700101 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:37:21 +0000 Bao 2700101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: gotcha! I can understand that, it's a LONG series! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700100 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:36:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 2700100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I was kind of over it after the third but had to read to see what happened. The 4th left everything in a good place and I just wanted to read something else, I might go back and read the others at some point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700096 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:31:09 +0000 Bao 2700096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: enough because you liked where that book finished or enough because the series goes on too long? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700094 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:27:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 2700094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read 4 of them then decided it was enough. </p> <p>The fourth one ended really well and I didn't feel the need to keep reading the series. I actually liked the second one better than the first too. And the 3rd &amp; 4th were fun. The first one might have been my least favorite actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700088 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:21:02 +0000 Synchronicity 2700088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read the whole series a few times. Some books are definitely slower than others... They all blur together for me now but I think the first is great, second is slower and third is great again. The rest sort of ebb and flow like that. I love them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outlander-book-series#post-2700083 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:04:46 +0000 Bao 2700083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just over halfway done with Outlander and I'm loving it! I bought the first 8 episodes to watch after I finish this book as well. </p> <p>Anyway, for those that have read this series, (without any spoilers) how did you think the book series progressed? I hear it slows down, but is it still worth it? Rate them in order of your favorites if you feel like it :) </p>
