LOVED this book in the series. The best one so far! The right balance of familiarity by returning to Scotland, but then branches off beautifully to new locations with heaps of new characters who just felt like they fit. I'm watching the series after I've finished each book and I'm really looking forward to this season!
My only complaint is these books are soooooo long. It's a marathon. But I am officially an Outlander fan. Love it.

This was book 3 by Diana Gabaldon in the Outlander series, and I am a HUGE fan. I loved Books 1 & 2 and the tv series which wraps up right around that time, but my god, Book 3 was WAY way too much fast-moving PLOT that reeked of sea adventures, island rituals, bizarre characters, and some not-so-well-explained voodoo magic. YIKES! The dynamic between Claire and Jamie was neither explored further nor really had time to develop because Diana threw SO MANY fast-moving events in our direction. Way too much plot, way too little story.
I started losing interest after the boy gets captured. I won't give it away for those who haven't read it but those who have, you know what I'm talking about. The nature of the events seemed to be so made up, so incongruent to the overall story, and awfully put together that it made me think she was just stringing us along. I listened to the audio version and actually put it on 1.25x to make it move along faster. I also switched to reading on the Kindle here and there. The islands didn't do anything for me and honestly, the characters surrounding this event seemed as dull and uninteresting as it could get.
Gosh I'm just going to wrap it up by saying this was a most unsatisfying story, yet it included two of my favorite characters who manage to grow way less favorite to me. Is it possible to get seasick from reading a book and going through the motions of the storm with your characters? Well, I think I did.
Now I have to decide if I'm going to continue the story. Feeling let down and sad that I no longer can say I LOVE love love Outlander. I guess it's possible all this is because we're no longer in Scotland, folks!!!!

Voyager by Diana Gabaldon, the third book of the Outlander series, is a Kindle eBook that I began reading in mid-December 2014 (yes, a while ago), but that I wasn't able to finish until early February.
The first chunk of the novel was a quick, pleasant, exciting jaunt with Brianne and Claire, then the woo-lookit-that reunion, and then, boop, nosedive to Treasure Island with zombies weirdness for the final half of the book. It'll take a significant amount of considering and reconsidering before I even think of opening the fourth Outlander book.

All the Outlander books are great. I struggled to finish this one though because it was the third in a row and it's a big one. But I enjoyed it a lot
2022:: The Great Outlander Reread, round five. Or six. I've lost count. But I finished Bees on Christmas morning 2021 and I wasn't ready to leave Jamie and Claire or the eighteenth century yet so I decided it was time once again to reread the whole series.
