I have not started the Lord John books yet. Did you like the first one?

I have the last Outlander book on my challenge for badge 2. :o)

I liked this one pretty well, not quite as much as Outlander, but it was a good listen. I didn't care for the prequel novella too much, but liked this one a lot more. I also plan to read the newest Outlander at some point this year.
