Warning: Major spoilers below! Don't read below if you don't want to know yet. It is deliberately being marketed as the first half of a two-part story, and I'm not sure I'm going to bother with the second part when it comes out later this year. However.BLACKOUT left me feeling underwhelmed. It's a time period that I really don't know much about, and so I was intrigued, and looking forward to this story very much. The premise is similar to DOOMSDAY BOOK: time-traveling historians from the mid-21st century going back to observe past events - in this case, in WWII England during the time of the Blitz. I loved Connie Willis's novel, DOOMSDAY BOOK, about a time-traveler who goes back to the year 1348 and the Black Death, and so I was really looking forward to the newest Connie Willis time-travel book, titled BLACKOUT. Like many OUTLANDER fans, I'm a lifelong reader of time-travel stories.
