I'm obsessed with outlander but I've not read others

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of the TV show, esp. the romantic/erotic scenes which differ from everything else I have seen in that respect, and evoked real emotional responses in me.

But at some point I realised the story was written by a USian who had never been to Scotland, and suddenly I could not unsee the Scots being appropriated as stand-ins for America's fight for freedom and all that historical US exceptionalism claptrap.

Haha I get that! The endless rapes piss me off, it's weak writing
