Outlander Series Book 3: Voyager

Suzanne: One of the reasons I will continue in this series is I can rarely guess what is coming next. I liked these newer characters more than the royal Court in Paris. I feel like if I say more. I'll give parts of the story away.

ps: I was skeptical about this series, but finally read book one, I’m hooked. Watching the series as I read. I recommend this to anyone who likes a story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat

Hannah: I adored book 1 & was extremely excited to begin book 2, however I lost interest in book 2 about midway through. I found it quite slow & a little dull. I read a review how book 3 (voyager) was much better & Im really glad I listened!

Voyager was quick paced and fascinating from start to finish, with a plot line which kept you reading. If you struggled with book 2 please keep going & get to book 3!

Tarah Makarem: Transforms you to a different time. The level of historical detail is one of the nicest I’ve read

Linda Vargas: The book is a little different than the TV episodes. But still holds your attention.
Love all the TV episodes of OUTLANDER. And since we’re going through an OUTLANDER DROUGHT right now until 2024, thought I would read the books.
Highly recommend reading the OUTLANDER NOVELS.

Alice: (Review contains spoilers)

The first quarter of the book was quite enjoyable and it was interesting to gain more insight into how Claire and Jamie fared while they were apart. I felt the inevitable reunion was a bit lacklustre though. I wish there had been more focus on Jamie and Claire getting to know one another again and the intricacies of that, rather than being thrown into so many daft mishaps one after another. It's incredible how Claire just accepts whatever new problem arises from Jamie's previous and current escapades and just doesn't seem to give a hoot. If I went to all that trouble, left my daughter behind and risked my life to return to the past for a man, I would feel a bit disappointed to find he had resorted to smuggling and was a frequenting a brothel. Jamie has decent enough reasons for it but after leaving behind a comfortable life surely it would make a well-educated, intelligent woman question what on earth she had come back to. Claire just passively goes along with it all.

The situation with Leg Hair and the way it gets glossed over is particularly annoying. It's baffling how Claire never tells Jamie that the woman he married in her absence had...

Bambi_Unbridled: As a blogger, when you have to read on a schedule... you never really have a spare 40+ hours to re-read an audiobook at your whim. But I felt compelled to do just that this month. Last week, I tackled Dragonfly in Amber so I could finally watch Season 2 of Outlander on Starz. I had planned to save Voyager to re-read when Season 3 comes out this Fall... but I just couldn't. Some of my favorite events of the series happen in this book, so I was impelled to continue on ahead of schedule.

This book again starts out on Culloden field on April 16, 1746. We spend some time with Jamie, learning what his life has been like during the twenty years since he was with Claire. There are a few time jumps to 1968 in both Inverness, where the hunt for Jamie has begun in earnest, and then to Boston with Claire wrapping up her life there in preparation for the day that Roger Wakefield finds Jamie in historical records. This will cover the time when Claire lost Frank, and also some tidbits of her professional life with dear friend Joe Abernathy. Keep an eye out for Claire's examination of skeletal remains (to which you, the reader, should also pay close attention). But then word comes from...

Audrey DENEUVIS: Fan de la série TV « Outlander », j’ai souhaité découvrir les romans qui l’ont inspirée. Tous les ingrédients étaient réunis pour me plaire : le voyage dans le temps, l’Histoire, la romance, l’Ecosse. J’ai aimé les deux premiers volumes, mais ce troisième tome a été une immense déception - et je pèse mes mots !
Pour ne pas être totalement injuste, je mettrai au crédit de l’auteur ses descriptions détaillées - parfois un peu trop -, ses recherches culturelles et historiques, et deux personnages prometteurs : Ian, le neveu de Jamie, et John Grey. Le premier tiers du livre, jusqu’aux retrouvailles de Claire et Jamie, est intéressant et par moments émouvant, avec le parallèle entre les deux époux, qui se languissent l’un de l’autre… avec un bémol : le viol de Geneva.
Jamie travaille alors aux écuries d’un lord anglais, sous le nom d’Alex Mackenzie (étant un ancien jacobite, il doit cacher sa véritable identité). La fille de ce lord, Geneva, s’est amourachée de Jamie. Mais celle-ci est promise à un richissime vieillard. La jeune fille préfère perdre sa virginité avec Jamie mais, comme il refuse, elle le fait...

Georgiana89: I started this book the moment I finished book two, and until about two-thirds of the way through it, I felt quite obsessed with it, remaining n one of those odd "thinking about the book in every waking moment and then dreaming about it" moods that I find my favourite books always give me.

The first third of this novel has a far more complex structure than its predecessors. The chapters alternate between the 1960s, as Claire, Brianna, and Roger try to find out what happened to Jamie after he seemingly survived Culloden; flashbacks to Claire's life over the last twenty years; and chapters from Jamie's life over the same period of time, two hundred years in the past.

I love time-travel stories when they make your head spin, and this achieved it in a way that earlier books in the series didn't quite manage. I loved having the researchers in 1968 find something out about Jamie's life from a dry document, then getting to see the emotional reality of it through his eyes. This is particularly strong where things have passed into folklore. I'm always fascinated bye the idea of the difference between historical myth and reality, and there are some wonderful examples of it...
