suzjustsuz 's review for:

Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
4.0

Second read through was actually a listen to the audiobook narrated by Divina Porter. I enjoyed it a great deal. It's still may favorite of the three and my issues are still the same. Jamie is not always likeable in this one, but definitely more human. :) Claire is a bit too forgiving, though. Sometimes I want to smack her.

Divina Porter's rendition of John Grey is a bit pompous. It's kind of funny. Rating stays at 4.
*****************************
This is the best of the first three I've read in this series, to my mind. Still quite long, most of the length seemed more purposeful to the story and less contrived prose to me, particularly once Claire made her way back. I must admit, however, that I might just be getting used to DG's verbose writing style. There were some unexpected surprises in the long story arcs, and Jamie wasn't as perfect as he's seemed previously, that made the story more real and interesting for me. This one was worth the length, I think.
