Bisher mein Favorit der Outlander Reihe 😍
Sehr sehr gutes Buch. Spannend, obwohl ich die Geschichte schon durch die Serie kannte. 🤭 Ich wollte es einfach nicht weglegen, weshalb es das erste Buch der Reihe ist, was ich in ca. einem Monat durchgelesen habe. Lesezeichen: 27h 10 Min.
Read my full review here: https://tessasworldofthings.blogspot.de/2017/10/voyager-by-diana-gabaldon.htmlThe book sets in, when the previous ended. Claire is still in Scotland, stuck in her own time, twenty years after leaving Jamie to die at Culloden. Roger's revelation, that Jamie might have survived the battle after all, first falls on deaf ears with her. But when her daughter Brianna encourages her mother to believe, seeks and finds prove, the point of no return is reached: Claire has to go back, has to find Jamie, become whole again and introduce Brianna to him.Claire goes back through the stones and finds Jamie, now a changed man. Although she knew what he has been through, Claire needs time to realize how big the impact of these past twenty years was on him. He has changed, has been through hell and back and never healed from losing her. But still, one thing hasn't changed: Their love is still stronger than any odds and Jamie is still an outlaw, just with a slightly changed profession. Finding herself in danger again, running from the British Crown, Claire has to decide whether or not she is willing to live a life on the run, just for the sake of being with Jamie.Compared to the previous books, one thing becomes quite obvious: The story is more than just a little layered. Gabaldon switches back and forth between a first- and third-person narrative, depending on whose story she tells. At first that needs some getting used to, but she does it in a very, quite perfect way, never losing the focus of what she's trying to tell and finding her way back to the common thread. It's not confusing, although it might sound like it, but rather very helpful to fully grasp everything that's been happening in the past and during Claire's time. Again, Claire is the center of attention. While she searches for bits of Jamie in her time, the narration goes back upon each discovery, focusing on Jamie and how he survived, what he lived through. Then, when Jamie finds himself in prison, the narration switches again, now focusing more on Lord John Grey (who later became his own little book series, by the way) and his thoughts on Jamie and their relationship. When Claire goes back through the stones, though, almost the entire story shifts its spotlight back to her and her first-person narration.During book two I sort of enjoyed Brianna. She and Claire had a difficult relationship and Brianna was more of a "daddy's girl". During flashbacks, that described Claire's life with Frank, while Brianna grew up, this notion become more evident. This feeling, that Brianna and her mother didn't have the strongest connection, didn't have any huge amount of love for each other (on both sides), made it a little difficult to comprehend the first half of the book. Maybe I remember it the wrong way, but I never pictured Brianna the kind of child who wants her mother to be happy, let alone make the life-threatening journey through the stones to find her biological father. That just seemed awfully farfetched. Claire's letter to her daughter sort of made more sense to me. The long list of everything she needs to know, only little emphasis on motherly love, which Claire (in my mind) was lacking a little anyway, seemed much more like it. To be quite honest, I'm glad the story continues without Claire and Jamie having children. I just don't like it, when the love story switches to a babies are great kind of story. I'm just not a kid's person.Anyway. Another thing that bothered me was, how easily Claire's appearance was accepted by basically everyone. Nobody seemed to be mad at her for just leaving, everyone bought the sort of feasible story of her living in France. It was all very: Well, all right, she's back. Let's get back to business. I imagined fights over how she could just leave Jamie to die, why did she not come back to visit the rest of her family in Lallybroch, just anything apart from a little fainting or some looks of bewilderment. It just wasn't enough for me, not on the big scale. She might be considered a witch, but still, there could have been more. It didn't seem natural to me, that everyone was just happy, hugged her and went on with life as if she's been around the past twenty years, no questions asked, no grudge, no nothing. The only plausible reaction came from Jamie's sister Jenny and even that was somewhat lacking...Apart from these minor details, the book is very good. It's too detailed in some parts, as the previous one was, too and I'm not sure whether I like the fact that they just left Scotland with no immediate plan to return. I started reading these books because they were about Scotland. I'm not sure how to go on from here right now. This could be bad. Very bad indeed, but so far, I haven't given up hope. Given that their return to Scotland would probably result in Jamie's being hanged, I understand the decision making, but that doesn't mean that I have to approve. I also hope that Jamie stops being the jack of all trades device. He's a Scot. Alright, I accept his speaking French, but Chinese? Portuguese? Spanish? Seriously? If he's that smart, then why hasn't he invented electrical light, or sterilization yet? Sure, he's the ideal guy, he's perfect, but his being a know-it-all, in the most literal sense of the word, is just too much to keep my dreams alive. That's the prove nobody needs that Jamie's fiction. Give him something he can't do or doesn't know, please. Make him human. And please take them back to Scotland. And soon.
Yea this fell short to me. Like why would she want to go back to Jamie. Ma'am you have a daughter.
I can not find words to describe how much I love the outlander series and how amazing Claire's and jamie's journey is.
