I love the Outlander series. So much that I recently started listening to them for the third (or fourth?) time. I’ve even read the Lord John books (though, I’m not as much a fan of those), and all of the short stories and novellas. When I realized that there was a graphic novel that told part of the story from another point of view, I was excited. Finally, I picked up a copy and read it.

I absolutely love the Outlander series and I liked this graphic novel adaptation. It covers about the first third of the story in book one (Outlander). The book is gorgeous, but my personal preference is for the prose novels.
Surprisingly, I didn’t care for this. I’m a big fan of Gabaldon’s Outlander series (I think it’s one of the greatest love stories in fiction), but The Exile just didn’t do much for me.
I knew that there wouldn’t be many surprises in the story. It’s basically the first book, Outlander, from Jamie’s point of view. There are a few new things, but nothing earth-shattering. So that wasn’t the problem.

Such a great treat for Outlander fans! Gorgeous illustrations, which bring you right back into the world of book 1. Read it in one sitting (bonus!).
And great news...it's being released on Sept 21, 2010...a week early!

I liked it but it would be hard to follow if you had not read the original. Nice to see Jaime fleshed out, and Claire is a bit more likable.
I'm an Outlander fan, but haven't read many graphic novels, so I thought this might be a "me-friendly" way to broaden my horizons. It was, well, okay. It's been a long time since I read the first Outlander novel, so I was confused, at first, by seeing characters I hadn't thought about in some time. Once I got my bearings, I enjoyed the experience. I would suggest that if you want to see what a graphic novel is like, this might be a nice place to start. It won't make much sense, I don't think, if

I thought the story and the art went well together.
Great addition to the Outlander books - fun to see it w/ this interpretation.
