Review of 'Voyager' by Diana Gabaldon


Voyager
Diana Gabaldon
5*

"From the author of the breathtaking bestsellers Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, the extraordinary saga continues.

Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.
Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her...the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite or forever doom her timeless love."

- synopsis from Goodreads

"Triumphant ...her use of historical detail and a truly adult love story confirm Gabaldon as a superior writer."

- Publishers Weekly



The third book in the Outlander series, Voyager, was by far my favorite book yet.
 Without giving anything away, Diana Gabaldon has continued the epic love story of Jamie and Claire Fraser in a book that is jam-packed with action and adventure, leaving the reader breathless and wanting more until the very last page. Gabaldon is truly a master story-teller with a gift for weaving a tale that draws the reader in and makes them feel as though they were right there amidst all of the action. If you enjoy sweeping sagas about love and adventure in the Scottish Highlands, then this series is for you. Needless to say, I can't wait to read the next installment of this series!
