It’s not the main character well sorta it’s a main character but he’s not THE main character.
It’s Rodger from the outlander series like just go away. If you’ve only watched the show trust me he’s way worse in the books.
Like bro just go tf away I can’t keep reading about you!
He’s not even seen as a bad guy like no he’s written I think as like oh a flawed human being but he loves her so much and he’s really a good guy. But no he’s awful I hate him.
I’m on the 4th main novel I hope he gets killed off at some point then never mentioned again because I can’t even.
I think maybe he was written to sorta be like Jamie. How Jamie and Claire’s relationship is push and pull and sometimes even a bit too aggressive imo. But Rodger and Jamie are not the same at all uh uh not at all. Briana and Rodgers relationship is like the Walmart version of Claire and Jamie. Like the poor girl needs a different guy.
There are 9 main novels so far and they’re BIG BOOKS so lots of reading too much of Rodger in them
How do I survive this?! I love the books but sometimes I find myself pausing for several days after I’ve just read two chapters staring Rodger in a row and oh here’s a third
I have enjoyed the books but, unpopular opinion, I don’t like Claire. She’s so self righteous and, since it’s told from her perspective, she’s got the highest opinion of herself. Pbbbbbt. Shockingly, that hasn’t stopped me from reading the books - even though she’s nearly gotten Jamie killed more times than I can recall.
I watch the series, also, off and on. Still don’t really like Claire, but Catriona Balfe plays the role wonderfully. Sam Heughan looks absolutely nothing like I’ve been picturing Jamie, for the 30 years since I first read Outlander - so that was a disappointment. And, frankly, I think he plays Jamie like a petulant child seeking Claire’s approval, which is off putting. But, Lawd, Dougal was nice to look at. lol
