This book has long been the turning point in the series for me -- while I love the relationship between Jamie and Claire (and continue to read the books), VOYAGER has always been the book where, as I reader, I felt the fantasy element became too outlandish, particularly in contrast to the domestic scenes, which become even more rewarding. I was most pleased to discover, on this re-read, that it is not the whole book that drives me nuts, with only brief satisfaction at the reunion of Claire and Jamie; the first 600 pages or so are phenomenal, with only a few incredulous moments, such as when Claire is asked to look at the set of bones discovered in the Caribbean. While the end of the book, with its expansion on the theory of time travel, a return of a most unpleasant character, and much adventuring, is perhaps best read through once and skimmed thereafter, fans of the series will find much to love in the first sections.
