Customer Reviews

Edition switched in order.

I put the regular paperback edition in my cart. Then, after checkout it was marked as a mass market paperback. I also never got a confirmation email to back up what I actually tried to order. So now I have another order with the wrong version when my order (different than this order) still shows regular paperback. And two correct books. I’ve never met anyone specially buying books in a series to just intentionally buy THREE different versions. I certainly didnt, yet it’s what I received.

Gave Me The Wrong Book

I bought two copies of the voyager. BOTH of those copies are NOT the versions that were either in the picture, OR in the description. or the one i wanted! Both copies were the same, far to small. I even went to the trouble of MEASURING THE BOOKS TO FIND RIGHT ONE. And yet, I still recieved the wrong version. Please remedy this ASAP.

4 stars

VOYAGER by Diana Gabaldon Time travel, reunions, magic, kidnapping, fires, sea voyages, pirates, shipwrecks, and drama galore! Thankfully this one picks up right where the second book ends with Jaime being alive and Claire going back in time (again) to reunite with him. This installment has more chaos, action, and adventure and less spice. The pacing was steady, and the story didn’t feel as long or bogged down as the previous book. However, you’ll need to suspend all your disbelief for this one as there are plenty of very unlikely and unrealistic plot scenarios I appreciate the diversity of the characters this time around, and how well their lives/backstories converged. Yes, there are (still) a lot of people to keep track of, but I never felt confused about who was who. These characters are morally grey and flowed yet also endearing. Not one character is truly good or bad (except Black Jack Randal, he’s trash). That said, there are some very problematic stereotypes and prejudices concerning Wiloughby (Yi Tien Cho) and the other POCs. Could this story have benefited from a sensitivity reader? Absolutely. Though it does accurately reflect the time period so there’s that. Overall, I found it to be an entertaining and engaging story to escape into. I’m sure it helps that I’ve finally started watching season one of the series. Looking forward to reading the next book! Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

Condition was awful

Love the story! The condition of the book was awful! No dust jacket. Edges of shine were ripped. Sent in a bag that was torn in transit.

I love the book very much

Love this book

I am an outlander fan - another outlander fan mentioned this website on the Facebook outlander group - I’ve watched the tv series now loving the books too - well worth the money

Good copies love the price and book

Love it

Loved the Series and the Book

This book correlates with the 3rd season of the Outlander series but gives much more detail (of course). It's not a quick read and would be easier to understand if some of the Scottish terms were better defined within the text. I like the way the present and past are woven together seamlessly. I find the characters to be believable and endearing. I plan to read the rest of the series.

Everlasting Love Found, Windswept Seas & Adventure Abound!

The third in the 'Outlander' series and still kept me riveted. In this enstallment, Claire is in her own time and its twenty years later from the time she first went back (1945)and she has a daughter from Jamie, Brianna who is 20 years old. Claire is now a succesful doctor living in Boston and still longs for her lost love, a Scottish warrior from the 18th century named Jamie Fraser. Her twentieth century husband Frank having passed away two years ago, Claire is feeling that heartwrenching pull to return to her love.But how does a mother leave her only child to find a man she once knew and loved almost two hundred years ago? How does she explain this to the man's daughter who looks just like him? Just seeing Brianna makes her heart ache for Jamie.With the help of Brianna and a friend who studies genealogy charts, Claire finds out that Jamie somehow survived the bloody Battle of Culloden! Dare she risk another trip through the stones to find him?With understanding and the love from her daughter, Claire finds the support and courage she needs to take the plunge into the unknown with the knowledge that she may never again be able to return to the future and Brianna.Seeing Jamie again nearly knocks the breath from her. Their love is still intact, even 20 years later. Trouble is still in the air, this time they are uprooted from the battlefields of Scotland to the exotic and mysterious West Indies. Coming face-to-face with an 18th century serial killer, Claire is the only one who can stop the madness.Voodoo magic and political intrigue, Claire and Jamie are thrust on a voyage to the pits of humanity and must use their love and trust in one another to survive.I thought the use of voodoo and the islands in the 1700's was unbelievable! It was so fascinating and kept you on your toes! Their journey through the world of magic and greed for life made sense and also explained things to me that I missed in the first novel 'Outlander'. The stones are more in depthly explained along with the travel of time. It was so unbelievable that I was engrossed for hours and hours and found it dark outside before I thought to even eat!This is probably one of my favorites so far of the three I've read. It moved faster and with more excitement that the last (even though I loved 'Dragonfly') and I was sad to see it end, some 1050 pages later, lol. The time spent apart made the heart grow fonder and I was happy to see the passion still well alive between them. I love Jamie anyway, and fell in love with him in 'Outlander', but in this, I loved him even more and wished I were Claire, lol. I am anxiously ready to plunge right into the fourth installment, 'Drums of Autumn', in the New World...1. Outlander 2. Dragonfly in Amber 3. Voyager 4. Drums of Autumn 5.

claire and jamie reunite - at last!

After finding out that Jamie survived the battle of Culloden, Claire makes the heartwrenching decision to leave her grown up daughter, Brianna behind in the present, and after a hilarious scene at a shop that sells period costumes, Claire finds her way back to the stones of Craigh na Dun and Jamie, who lives under various guises as merchant, printer and smuggler Their reunion is passionate but not peaceful for long. Jamie and Claire's efforts to save his nephew, Ian take them to the West Indies where they meet Geillis Duncan, the time traveller from Outlander, who not only holds the boy hostage for her own sinister purposes, but who also threatens Brianna all the way in the twentieth century. Their final escape hurls them into a storm that nearly kills them all, but lands them in a new world - together. Throughout the many twists, turns and revelations of incidents past, we never doubt Jamie. Not when he is constantly thrown from one danger to another, not even when he warns Claire that she might not want the man he has become. Her answer is our own, and her implicit trust in him is truly justified as he tries to explain every circumstance that fate has thrown at him. But he has changed. He has been forced by blackmail and loneliness into a loveless marriage with one woman and to father a son on another. These relationships will be explored in further installments of the series. Claire has been dealt a rough hand in some ways, and she has also become tougher during the twenty years of separation from Jamie. Her profession of surgeon serves her well in this book and her decades of loneliness in the 20th century, while remembering the love she shared with Jamie, only strengthen that love when they rediscover each other and she sees how very much he has changed. Claire clings to the chance of happiness she knows she is lucky to have, even if it means leaving behind her beloved daughter. The scene where Claire shows Jamie photographs of his daughter Brianna, taken at many stages in her life, is heartbreakingly tender with the pain of what could have been. Claire and Jamie do not dwell on this, but instead face each new challenge together. Old friends and nemeses are back, each of them adding their own piece of the puzzle to this intricate story, but Jamie and Claire are, again, the center of it all. We know them now and we cheer for each victory and despair at each cruel twist of fate. In the end, the theme of Voyager is one of tremulous hope. Hope, because this is a new beginning for Claire and Jamie. After all their misunderstandings and disagreements have been dealt with, they find themselves on a new continent which represents their new chance at a life together. Tremulous because, let's face it, this is a Gabaldon novel, and we have not only Drums of Autumn after this installment, but two, or perhaps three more books. In any case, Voyager is a well-crafted work, not overwhelmed by the carefully detailed resea

The best series I have ever read!

I think this book and the rest of the series were fantastic! They were easily the best books I've ever read - and I'm an avid reader. I laughed out loud while reading (something I very seldom ever do). I cried during some of the passages. These books were so real, I felt as though the characters were my very best friends after the first book. The author's descriptions were so vivid, you could almost see what she was talking about. She didn't repeat events over and over when she was talking about something else - she trusted you to know what she was referring to. One event didn't last for several pages; she described something fully and moved onto something else. There was something different happening all the time; this book and the series were anything but boring. The book was over way too fast and the series could have had many more books in it. It was just over way too soon! I hope the next book is ready soon. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes to read - no matter what category.
