And they are shipwrecked. Again. This has got to be the third time this book.

And it's official. Geelie raped Ian. While Claire and Jaime are off having hijinks, chatting it up with drunken Fathers or getting Fergus married, Ian is being raped. I just... *shakes head*

And they finally found Ian. The child. Who was in the grips of a murderous crazy woman. And the showdown could have been in an Anita Blake book. I feel exhausted. It took you THAT LONG to find this POOR BOY?!!?? If you love this boy SO MUCH, why the f@#$ didn't you try harder to find him, instead of getting into fights with slavers and chuckling with drunk Fathers?

What the flying F@#$ is a voodoo ceremony (complete with killing a CROCODILE!!) doing in an Outlander novel?!?!! Did I switch and start reading Anita Blake without knowing?! And WTF is with the Brianna speaking to Claire across time?! I think my brain just about exploded...excuse me, while I try to pick up the pieces.

Geelie's back. Apparently she "likes little boys". That went somewhere I did NOT want to go. Oh and she's super fat now. And the Bad Guy. *rolls eyes* (And Claire is like in her 50's and is attracting attention from men half her age.) At least we get a little more info about the time-traveling aspect.

WAHT?!?!?!!?? Jaime went gay for Lord John?!!?? HUH???? I don't think that's how it works!! AND ONLY NOW CLAIRE IS FINDING OUT ABOUT WILLY?!!??!! Gimme a two-by-four, I have a Scott I need to smack!!

It just hit me: a CHILD (15 year old) IS FREAKING MISSING! Where is the fear, the urgency, the despair, the anguish? It's like Claire and Jaime are investigating some goofy mystery (and getting into HIlarious hijinks) where THEIR OWN NEPHEW isn't MISSING. A BOY. COME ON.

Classic scene where Claire tries to go down on Jaime, but then someone comes to talk to Jaime and then *chuckles* won't leave him alone to get some sexing. Oh, and apparently people are kidnapping Scottish boys for the lulz, which they find out from Ishmael, another black slave...seriously, this book is WILD. I can't predict ANYTHING.

A slave market. What is happening... *jaw drops*

How do they have any hope that Ian is not dead? Seems an awful lot of effort to find someone in a day and age where disappearing people weren't uncommon.
