Our view

“Voyager” is carried by the scenes between Claire and Jamie, which are moving enough to hold together more than a thousand pages. The third Outlander novel mixes history, romance and adventure at sea, and some readers find its final third noticeably weaker than what comes before. Written for those who already care about this couple, it makes little sense as a first encounter.
