From:

book two of Outlander is rather terrible - the writing is fine, but the content is problematic AF. there's a ton of homophobia on the part of the primary viewpoint character, though to be fair, not other characters (and Gabaldon took a lot of heat for it, and corrects it completely in future volumes, including the spinoff series about the gay Lord John), but i'm sensitive to it, and Claire is totally wound around the axle of a pregnancy thing through the whole book, which i personally find anti-interesting. (i expect other people mostly have more patience with that but i just can't with it.) so i always skip book two when i'm re-reading them; the entire rest of the series is great. long, but worth it.
