Mrs. Gabaldon,

What can I say? Loved, Loved, Loved all the books and the series! Way back when, when my sister, Mom and myself read the books, my sister commented: Wow, what a great movie this would be! Little did we know thats exactly what happened with the TV series. I have to comment, the characters were so spot on, it was as if they stepped out of the pages of the books. That is not always the case, and we could not believe it. My husband also enjoyed the shows, (Which is never easy in our house to agree on) and could not wait until Friday night to watch. Regarding the final show, we loved the ending in that there may be hope after all in their future together. Maybe another journey??? Thank you Diana for a wonderful, wonderful ride. PS: I agree with the previous comments, we did not want the series to end!!!

I am sure you have heard the comment previously that your readers don’t want Outlander to ever end.

Episode 10 question/comment:
* Why did Clare not open Jamie’s vest and shirt as she had done so many times for other patients? My veteran husband always commented that the first thing that is done with a sucking chest would is cover the “hole.” But, she would have had to send someone to fetch her medicine kit that she dropped.
* Very glad the TV version circled back to the ghost of Jamie that Frank saw. I thought about the possibilities lengthily.

General Comments:
* Outlander has been a riveting and enriching experience over the last few years. After seeing the first season, I ordered the book from the library and thereafter bought books 1-9. I have read each one at least twice and I cannot imagine ever finding another book series as captivating.
* The research you have done educates as well as entertains. I am humbly in awe of you.
* If you have not already written the ending to Book 10, please consider letting Jamie and Clair survive to spend their golden years together back on the Ridge?

Thank you from a devoted fan.

What a life’s work! Wonderful combination of imagination, education, energy and extraordinary writing. I am eager to read the last book. I only hope that if there’s French in it, you obtained better help for it than in the earlier books. You are so careful with details etc. I’m dismayed by the errors or poor word choice in almost every dialogue; even a chapter title. Granted: few readers will know or care, but I have a feeling you do. Similarly, I’m sure very few viewers were taken aback by an 18th century Parisian waif exclaiming “Okay…” for the most part a twentieth century American exclamation. This critique aside, none of it can take away from the extraordinary contribution that is “Outlander.” No matter what, I’m still an unabashed fan.

I love the Outlander TV series but because of the depth and detail of the books they cannot compete.

Gentile Signora Gabaldon, sto aspettando con ansia il suo libro 10, sperando in un finale della saga di Outlander più reale e più be.lo di quello della serie, che qui in Italia vedrò su Sky domani 16 maggio 2026, ma del quale ho letto I commenti sul finale dal sito Reddit, non mi piace, lascia aperte tante storie..e conclusioni . La ringrazio ancora una volta per aver scritto una storia bellissima e spero, finalmente, che il finale sia positivo, dopo tanti dolori e tragedie dei vari personaggi, in particolare Jamie e Claire, amatissimi.

Thank you, Mrs. Gabaldon, from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Ms. Gabaldon, I am eagerly awaiting your tenth book, hoping for an ending to the *Outlander* saga that feels more authentic—and more beautiful—than that of the TV series. I am set to watch the series finale here in Italy on Sky tomorrow, May 16, 2026; however, having already read comments about it on Reddit, I must say I am not fond of it, as it leaves so many storylines and conclusions unresolved. I thank you once again for writing such a beautiful story, and I hope—finally—that the ending will be a happy one, after all the pain and tragedy endured by the various characters, particularly the beloved Jamie and Claire.

Thank you, Mrs. Gabaldon, from the bottom of my heart.

My life is so much better since I have met and became a friend of Jamie Fraser. Thank you for allowing me to have him in my life.
