Ranking the Outlander Books, From Voyager to Echo in the Bone

This fourth book in the series has to split time between Jamie and Claire in the 1770s and Roger and Brianna in the 1970s, which is necessary to get the characters together eventually, but there are great stretches of text where we find ourselves speed-reading in order to get back to Claire and Jamie. Also, Brianna's assault is bad enough, but the subsequent confusion around it that leads to Jamie giving Roger to the Native Americans is a sitcom-worthy misunderstanding.

However, when Brianna finally does reunite with her parents, there is a huge emotional payoff.
