Oh I love when it comes with a family tree!

I would need the narrator to know how to pronounce French words.

Yeah, I totally understand that it's good that the pronunciation is correct Just for me personally, it was a bit confusing

I am having some trouble staying interested in the current book I'm reading, because the books bounces between so many narrators, and I don't care enough about some characters to read about their journey for hundreds of pages.

That's a bummer. Will you give it up?

I will stick with it, and the deeper into the book I get, I see why she had done it like that, but I am mainly here for Claire and Jamie

I am maybe alone in this, but I find John Grey boring. Also his son William is getting a lot of attention, and I notice my concentration slipping.

I had to look up who he is and I saw this

Quote:
Lord John is a main character in the Outlander novels and the protagonist of a subseries of historical mysteries, the Lord John novels and novellas. The Lord John stories take place during the period of time that Jamie is paroled at Helwater.
Did you read the novellas?

No, I haven't read those. I might give them a chance at some point, if that would give me a better appreciation of the character. He is a good character, and I like his interactions with Jamie, and their friendship is great, but I would rather just read the whole story from Claire POV.

It is a lot to keep up with when authors start doing spin offs and novellas etc.

I don't blame you. Some books work better because authors deduced to tell if from a certain character's POV.
