Welcome to Litsy!

I am a huge fan of the Outlander series, but I didn't enjoy this graphic novel. I was confused who the characters were. You couldn't tell them apart except for Jamie and Claire. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

This is a graphic novel based on the first few books of the Outlander series. The storyline, although simplified, was true to the novels. I wasn‘t a big fan of the artwork but, that‘s just a matter of personal preference. To each his own.

Ugh, this book was terrible! So, so bad. I was hoping for a romp in the Outlander world ahead of Nov‘s book release. I‘m a long time Outlander fan, and this hurts. And wtf was up with Claire‘s ever increasing breasts as the story went on? Definitely could tell this was illustrated by a guy. But the story was also just, off.

This does not add to the Outlander universe in any way. Skip!

This whole graphic novel is from Murtagh and Jamie‘s POV? YASS!! I love Murtagh so much.

As a huge Outlander fan, I naturally had to grab this from the library once I learned of its existence. It takes us through about half of the first book, with a few small changes here and there. The artwork was a little underwhelming because it was very hard to keep track of the Highlander men, as I couldn‘t really tell them apart. Still, if you are an Outlander fan then I would recommend reading this. 3.5⭐️

I'm sort of torn on this. If this is aimed at people who are Outlander fans then I am the target audience but I found it just way too similar to the original for it to be particularly interesting. I also struggled with the illustrations themselves. Some pages were just so overwhelming and cluttered + some characters looked too similar.
The good: thank you for keeping those iconic lines from the book in here!

Going to squeeze in one more read on my day off

This was different and interesting. I quite liked the graphic novel format.

Nope. I'm not sure what the thought process was here, but yuck. I love Outlander. Seriously. I have 5 editions (including the audio) of the first book alone. But I was so lost with this one. Half the story didn't make sense, and the artwork... OMG the artwork was so bad. Just really, really bad. The whole thing was a big disappointment.

1) Strawberries
2) It‘s been a very long time since I‘ve read a huge book. I think it was A Court of Mist and Fury.
3) The Exile
4) I‘ve been working toward growing my savings and 401k, so I‘d have to say being financially stable.

Graphic novel based on the Outlander book. Pretty good although there is a lot more cleavage than necessary. 😆 #32of2018 #graphicnovel #outlander

GNs have never really been my thing but I couldn‘t resist taking a look at this Outlander GN! #IheartOutlander

A very busty Claire Beauchamp 😳😳

Just finished this one and it wasn't horrible, but it definitely was not great! And seriously with Claire's boobs in this!!! I get that graphic novels love the boobage, but this is a bit much for Claire...

Does this count as an adult book? If it does I'm checking off "reading an adult book in one day, start to finish"

Bahahaha! That is an interesting pose!

I need to change things up so I'm switching to a graphic novel for a bit.

Getting 2 scavenger hunt items with this one:
* "reading a book out of your comfort zone" Outlander - not so much, but a graphic novel is a rare choice for me.
* "takes place in/goes to a city you want to visit" I would love to visit Scotland, particularly Argyll where the seat of Clan Malcolm is located (my husband is a Malcolm)

#marchbookstagram 3 of my fave characters: Hermione Granger (from the illustrated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), Betty Cooper (from Betty and Veronica: Fairytales), and Claire Beauchamp Fraser (from Outlander: The Exile)

Finally have a bingo! The Exile has been on my TBR for over a year. I wish I'd read it before the Starz series came out, because it was hard not to compare the two. I enjoyed the new (but small) twist in the Outlander story, but wished for more. For me, the art was just good and not great. There wasn't enough differentiation in the male faces, and the women were too objectified for my taste. 2.5 stars #litsyreadingchallenge #mounttbr

A graphic novel was an odd choice for the Outlander series. I feel that it's core readers are not the graphic novel crowd, and this subpar example of the genre isn't going to change anyone's mind. It's like looking at the skeleton of the story. Where is the muscle? Where is the heart? If you loved the series, you'll likely find the loss sad. Plus, the art work is awful. I mean, Claire would not have been able to stand without falling forward! 😳

My mom is Outlander-crazy but last year she swore she didn't want this graphic novel. Guess what made the top of her list this year? My order for it has been delayed but on its way! #givingasgifts #12daysofxmasphoto

I honestly think this is the only graphic novel I've read. I'm not a huge graphic novel reader! I currently have Something New out from the library, and I've intended to read Maus at some point. Any other suggestions? #favegraphicnovels #booktober

My small collection of #graphicnovels. All but one are #Litfluence purchases. Monstress is amaaaaayzing. Phoebe and Marigold are so wonderful. The other two are TBR for now. #octphotochallenge #graphicnovwl

Guess I'm not done with Diana Gabaldon and the Outlander series yet since I need to read this before I return it to the library 📚

Here's my #24in48 #SpinePoetry. I'm reading mostly digital, but these may get folded into the #readathon if needed. Thanks @Litsy and @24in48 !
