I liked Outlander back when I first read it, but that was before the term "homophobia" showed up on my radar, and even then I was pretty appalled at the beating and the part where Randall tortures Jamie (no more so than I was at the part of Mirror Dance where Ryoval tortures Mark, but still).
I went on to read Dragonfly in Amber, with which I was deeply unimpressed, and, in spite of that dislike, I went on to read Voyager, which I liked better than Outlander. I made it through Drums of Autumn, once. And I started The Fiery Cross, but never got more than a quarter way through it. That's where I stopped.
I can forgive the series a lot because, well, Jamie Fraser. He is an amazing character. But I think she fired her editor after Voyager, because the books basically became unreadable from that point.
So if that's any help, it's my more than two pence worth.
