Book Review of The Exile (Outlander Graphic, Bk 1)

The Exile (Outlander Graphic, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


I got this book mostly out of curiosity since I had read the Outlander series. It was a nice reminder of the first book, although much is necessarily and understandably missing. The illustrations, directed and approved by Diana Gabaldon and executed by Hoang Nguyen, were lovely but not exceptional, in my opinion. Still the undertaking was considerable and I applaud Gabaldon for venturing into the graphic novel genre. Fans of that genre might be interested in this book and, if she continues the series, others. I, however, am not. The story is much more rich in my imagination than in a single artist's interpretation.
