Voyager

I really loved this book. After being a bit disappointed by the beginning of the previous book, I loved this one way more again. There's a few twists I really did not expect.
Claire somehow starts getting on my nerve as she's always getting into troubles and fainting all the time and somehow not learning at all from any bad choices she's taken so far. But in general I really the story. Cannot wait to continue with the series!

It is another epic adventure in the Outlanders series!
I thought this book had a more vibrant vibe than the first two. While the first two books are great, they left me depressed sometimes with the amount of suffering and tragic events in the story.
"Voyager" also has sad moments but they do not seem terrible, because now you know the characters will be able to surpass their difficulties. I thought "Oh, he's been subjected to a lot worse before, I'm sure he can make it now".
And I love that we get to know older Claire and Jaime. They are more mature now and definitely knows what they want for their lives.
This book is more about struggles and personal growth, and less about politics and historic events.

Here's the thing. These books are faintly ridiculous and certainly overlong. But it's a fun ride, as well. This is not quality literature by any stretch of the imagination, and that's ok. It's escapism in its truest form, and honestly, as long as it keeps me entertained, I'm not really asking for more than that.

A lot happens in Voyager, and it doesn't all make sense. I'm hoping Gabaldon explains more in the Outlander Companion (volume 1), but I have to read Drums of Autumn first before I can read that, because spoilers abound. I don't care for the cliffhanger this one ended on, but I suppose that's just how DG rolls.

It's been a while and on third read it's not quite as interesting. I find myself skipping through pages. The love story doesn't fascinate me as much anymore.

I spent a lot of time on this series and I am disappointed. This was a good book for the most part, but at the 80% mark it took a turn for the bizarre and has left me thoroughly confused about the story, but confident that I won't read another in this series, if Gabaldon writes one. I kinda wish I had never read the first two novels.
