Voyager (Outlander, #3)

I'M ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!! I don't even know where to begin with my review. I suppose I'll have to think on it a bit... JUST KNOW... there are not enough stars in the sky. As I work my way through this series.... I am just dumbfounded at the awesomeness before me. And this book, by far my favorite so far in the series... words cannot express my love for these characters, and this story. But again, it's one of those stories that enraptures those ONLY that it's meant to. And I am definitely on that list!!!!!!

“I shook so that it was some time before I realized that he was shaking too, and for the same reason. I don't know how long we sat there on the dusty floor, crying in each others arms with the longing of twenty years spilling down our faces.”

“It wasn't a thing I had consciously missed, but having it now reminded me of the joy of it; that drowsy intimacy in which a man's body is accessible to you as your own, the strange shapes and textures of it like a sudden extension of your own limbs.”

“Aye, well, he'll be wed a long time," he said callously. "Do him no harm to keep his breeches on for one night. And they do say that abstinence makes the heart grow firmer, no?"
"Absence," I said, dodging the spoon for a moment. "AND fonder. If anything's growing firmer from abstinence, it wouldn't be his heart.”

“Once you've chosen a man, don't try to change him', I wrote with more confidence. 'It can't be done. More important-don't let him try to change you.”

“Do you know,' he said again softly, addressing his hands, 'what it is to love someone, and never - never! - be able to give them peace, or joy, or happiness?'
He looked up then, eyes filled with pain. 'To know that you cannot give them happiness, not through any fault of yours or theirs, but only because you were not born the right person for them?”

“Only you," he said, so softly I could barely hear him. "To worship ye with my body, give ye all the service of my hands. To give ye my name, and all my heart and soul with it. Only you. Because ye will not let me lie--and yet ye love me.”

“Then kiss me, Claire," he whispered, "And know that you are more to me than life, and I have no regret.”

Renee,It was my one my TBR list way before I started on Goodreads. I don't know why I waited. Perhaps it was the lengthy nature of the books. But I can say now...totally WORTH IT!!!! I'm doing the audio books this time, and I absolutely love them. The narrator is Davina Porter, and she is incredible!!! I highly recommend them. I don't read audio books that often, but these are just perfection!!! I'm totally LOVING THIS!!!
Thanks for letting me know Karen! I'll look into the audio books! Xx yay!
So very very TRUE!!!!!

Thank God tomorrow is Sunday and I can just read, read, read. ;)
I know, I love Sundays!!!! I jealous though... hearing your emotional response has me wanting to go back and read it all over again.
Just finished this and loved it. What a great story, it had it all.

Its so hard to write a review without giving away. You wrote exactly how I feel. :)
Great review Karen. Am at 55% now and a bit bored right now. Hope it picks up soon again. BUT HOLY HELL!!! I FEEL BETRAYED BY JAMIE BC YOU KNOW WHÁT HOW COULD HE???
Natalie wrote: "Great review Karen. Am at 55% now and a bit bored right now. Hope it picks up soon again. BUT HOLY HELL!!! I FEEL BETRAYED BY JAMIE BC YOU KNOW WHÁT HOW COULD HE???"Yes Natalie... it is a difficult situation indeed... take a look at my updates at the same place you're at. It is not a perfect romance, as is life... but... it gets better.... waaaaaay better. Stay tuned don't give up. This story is a real roller coaster ride. Even after book 7... there is a cliffy that has me pissed the hell off... and this time it's Claire. So much to take in my mood was constantly shifting. I can't wait till you get to Bree and Roger!!!
Thanks, so it picks up soon?
Natalie wrote: "Thanks, so it picks up soon?"Oh yes... what part are you at?
Young Ian has just disappeared..
Off the island... or run away?
No, i'm about 55%, so the sea. I loved the beginning but it's a little slow now...
It will pick up... you know they have to find Ian... they can't let him just be gone. So comes the ship...
This series as it whole is spectacular and the characters are amazing. Just wish that some parts wasn't so slow. Which book has been your fav so far?
It is long, no doubt. I am listening to the series on audio... and to me, it went quite quickly. The narrator is amazing. I'm not sure which one has been my favorite. I seem to remember A Breath of Snow and Ashes standing out a bit, but honestly, I have LOVED them all. I have even started liking the detailed medical descriptions she is forever including. And the historical recounting of events. I find it very informative and interesting. I think I said in one of my reviews that these books won't be appreciated by all... because of their length and detail, but for those of us who appreciate it, they are heaven!!!
My favorite so far has been Outlander, and I loved the first 60% of Voyager. Im relistening to the series on audio now. I have read the first three books but there is so many details I have missed. I really hope love book four but i'm a bit worried bc i've heart that the rest of he series will focus on other characters, not only Claire and Jamie :(

Trust me.... the books are very exciting, with new stuff happening to keep you on the edge of your seat. I think the audio books will help. The reading goes much faster for me with Devina Porter narrating them. I sure hope you stick with them. I'm reading the latest book now, and I'm loving it!!! Enjoy
Glad to hear that :) i will absolutely continue this series, i love it, and i have learned to love the length and the details, but most of all i love claire and jamie :)
Great review! ❤️ your excitement in your review has me intrigued. I own the first one but just haven't cracked it open yet.

BTW... these books are really good. (but they are a commitment... a long one) Totally worth it though!!
OMG Amy YOU MUST!!! IT'S EPiC!!!
Nice review. If i don't do a review almost straight away, I never do it.
Mo wrote: "Nice review. If i don't do a review almost straight away, I never do it."Thanks... and I am the same way. As you can see... never got back there. ;) I'm really glad you're reading these!
Karen and Natalie, the size scares me....is it better than TBH?
Amy (Foxy) wrote: "Karen and Natalie, the size scares me....is it better than TBH?"I would say as good as... I loved them both, but they were very different. Other than their length. If you start book 1, just make sure you don't quit before she goes through the stones... the first 20% of the book is a little slow, but after that point it takes off big time! No doubt these books are LONG. But they were worth it!
The fact that they are comparable to TBH at all is convincing me to take these on!

No, nothing is better than TBH. But I think these books are the cloßest one to them in epicness :)
The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
OK, yes, have heard that is another good one.
The best one there is
The Bronze Horseman is the best!!! Still haven't topped it.
Yes.. it is pretty damn good!!!
So who loves Jamie more than Shura? Tania vs Claire? For me, Shura/ Jamie is a tie but no heroine beats Tatiana.
Nat, I can't compare them like that! Alexander is no doubt above compare. But then again so is Jamie... and I could mention many others as well. We are so lucky to have such incredible men in our lives, are we not?
LOL!! We sure are, fictional or not. I am so so happy to have meet them, and my other favorites :))
Thank you Lisa Jayne!!! xo
