Summary
Diana Gabaldon's magnificent historical saga, begun with Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, continues with this New York Times bestseller. Set in the intriguing Scotland of 200 years ago, the third installment in the romantic adventures of Jamie and Claire is as compelling as the first. Now that Claire knows Jamie survived the slaughter at Culloden, she is faced with the most difficult decision of her life. She aches to travel back through time again to find the love of her life, but, in order to do that, she must leave their daughter behind. It has been 20 years since she and Jamie were forced to separate. Can she risk everything, maybe even her life, on a gamble that their love has withstood the long, rigorous test of time? Diana Gabaldon's powerful, witty, and heroic characters lend themselves well to the rich, melodic narration accorded them by Davina Porter. Under her spell, listeners find themselves transported back through time to exciting faraway places alive with people they would enjoy knowing.

Voyager is, well. Not my favorite. The stereotyping, 'the chinese,' 'the little chinese,' and the choice to call each black person 'the slave' nearly every time, even when it is not Claire's thoughts just leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. I feel there are better choices of wordage, and better ways to still show the horrible reality of racism and Claire's casual discrimination as a woman of the mid 1900s. Admittedly, I needed to skip through some of this one. Absolutely love Davina Porter's narration of this series, but I am not sure why gritting out 'Yi Tien Cho' with long pauses is necessary every single time she says it, as if it is an unfamiliar thing she has been told to order at a Chinese restaurant. It is the *only* thing she does that irks me, and it is very present in this book specifically, for obvious reasons.

I loved the first two books in this series, but in this book the author’s depictions several characters were offensive and racist. Her portrait of a Chinese man is nearly as bad as Mickey Rooney’s “Japanese” character in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and (semi-spoiler alert) all it takes is a hot bath for Claire to go from being horrified by the conditions of slavery to basically being ok with it. I’m embarrassed to have recommended this series to friends in the past, and really disappointed with the turn it’s taken.

I absolutely LOVE the Outlander series..my absolute favorite..but I have say. the narration of this particular book was OFF...it was as if listening to a grandmother...The voice was sharp...the emotion was OFF...the pronunciation of many words was off...not happy...finding it hard to keep listening

It took me a while to finish Dragonfly in Amber, but I could not stop listening to Voyager. The narration is fabulous - Davina Porter has an excellent cadence and her voices and accent help the characters stand out and become more real. Really enjoyed the new characters that were introduced, and the relationships between existing characters from the Outlander series. The pace of events at the end of this book was very fast, and I found myself wishing for more time in the West Indies (no spoilers, but felt like there was not enough time spent tying together some of the events from the earlier book, and there was not enough satisfying resolution), but loved all the intrigue of magic and witchcraft, blended with romance and time travel.

Excellent! This is my second time through the book series. It’s difficult to really know for sure since this is the 21st century, however this series is great 18th century history and seems to stick close to what it was really like. Rather than some kind of a woke version. I’m hooked on all the characters.

If I could give more stars for Davina Porter, I would! She is excellent! The book was not my favorite in the series but I really didn't start losing interest until the last few chapters...it drags on a bit. It didn't stop me from finishing it and I have moved on to the next one!

The reader is amazing at all the voices required and keeps the distinct voices of the main characters. There are very few changes between the book and the tv series but still an excellent book of you've already seen the season.

Think this was the best book of the Outlander series I've listed to so far. Loved the adventures of Claire & Jamie at sea and the West Indies. Can't wait for the next one. Davina Porter is an incredible narrator and really brings the story and characters to live.

I loved this book and I loved the narrator. I am usually too lazy to read books with too much ''wordy illustration'' but I enjoyed the picture that the words were drawing by listening to it and not reading. I loved the story and I loved that the author showed the real struggle of these 2 protagonist to reconnect. It was not only sunshine and rainbows but fights and heartache. I was kind of happy that they did not have proper absolution/reckoning after their biggest fight (unexpected meeting at Lallybroch) but kind of ended up sailing (literally and figuratively) together anyways. I was happy that the book was so lengthy and I was sad when it ended. I will re-listen this after some time with bit faster speed (1,5x) The narrator speaks so calmly that it is still understandable when the reading is sped-up.

Diana Gabaldon does an amazing job depicting the mentality and way of life in the Highlands in the 1700's. The books can seem a little too dense at times, but there is a purpose to every sentence she has written, it might just take a bit to become apparent why... I love Claire and Jamie and the unpredictable tale that Ms. Gabaldon weaves! I am about to start the 4th book in the series (after reading the first one over and over and over again) and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for me. Davina does a great job with Jamie and Claire's sarcastic whit and I really enjoy her narration throughout the story. She does a great job with each accent presented (and there are quite a few) and she really embodies the characters. I can always tell exactly who she portraying. All in all a very entertaining read! (Or listen!)

My favorite in the whole series, it builds up tension so well. This is my second time listening to it after having listened to all eight books and I still love it just as much. The tension delivers and you can truly feel the echoes of grief throughout this story and the ripples of consequence over this twenty long years. Davina Porter's consistent quality only adds to the dimension of all these books and there is a true chemistry between her voice acting and Diana Gabaldon's writing.

I am completely hooked on this series, and this third book has been wonderful. Every bit as absorbing as the first one. I'm so interested now in reading up on Scottish history and my parents' country of birth. I'm really enjoying the narrator, I think she manages all the different accents amazingly. Listening to these books has changed my commute time, I actually look forward to those hours in the traffic now!

I'm listening to the 3rd book in the series, and I predominantly read historical fiction. The books have been excellent, and I've been impressed with the historical accuracy and the plots and twists. The narrator is extremely good. She's very good with the different dialects and accents, and she does both gender voices very well. This series has replaced Ken Follett's series as my favorite.

Historically accurate, particularly for fiction. Narration is stellar but I do wish the narrator's voice wasn't so elderly; it gives the characters an age that doesn't exist.

what I like best in these books is that the perspective of a nurse/doctor traveling back in time. this novel approach is unique since the person telling the story sees and describes the scene from the modern perspective... very interesting to see that knowledge sometimes have little impact...
