Maliha's Reviews > The Winter Sea

Outlander fans will be disappointed-not sorely disappointed-just disappointed.

The only reason why I read The Winter Sea was because it was advertised to Outlander fans-perhaps because of the whole Scotland multiple centuries thing...but NO...nothing like Outlander.

Why the 3 stars? Basically I just had a hard time getting super attached to either storyline because of the constant switching between present day Carrie and 1700s Sophia. I liked/felt interested in Carrie more than Sophia though. Sophia was just your run of the mill average chick. Nothing special about her. Which is why as an Outlander fan I was disappointed (we all know Claire Randall/Frasier was a total spunkster :-D !) The book was written fairly well, albeit a little cheesily in the historical parts. It was cozy and did spark some emotion in me from time to time too.
