Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon enchanted scores of fans with Outlander, her electrifying historical saga set in 18th-century Scotland. Now the sequel sweeps listeners back into the past as Claire relates more of her perilous sojourn there with her Scottish warrior husband, James Fraser. Twenty years after her strange journey back in time, Claire has returned to Scotland with her daughter, determined to share with her the secret she has harbored since her time travel. Still longing to know the fate of her beloved warrior, she recounts the story of her stay with him in the intrigue-ridden court of Charles Stuart and their attempt to avert the doomed Highlands uprising at Culloden. As her story unfolds, it reveals implications more far-reaching than even Claire could have guessed.

Narrator Davina Porter's gift for expression captures the history and flavor of a harsh place and time, and gives it the polish of a warm and engaging love story.

I was really bored for a while, in the beginning. Once it picked up, I couldn't put it down!

Quick Review so I can get on to to #3!

I love this series. I can't possibly imagine where (or should I say when) Diana can take us next, but I cannot wait.

The mood, the language, the passion can completely devoure you and drop you back into history.

A Great Sequel to "Outlander"

Where does Dragonfly in Amber rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Dragonfly in Amber is a wonderful continuation of the story of Claire and Jaime Fraser. The entire series is definitely at the top of my list. Davina Porter just does a phenomenal job of staying true to the characters she has depicted so far in Outlander.

Any additional comments?

In this book, I feel as if the story gets a bit long winded. I'm not a fan of abridgment but I believe it could have been edited some before being published. There were some points where my mind would begin to wander and I would have trouble picking up the story again. However, the storyline is still good, just make sure you're not too distracted when listening to it. And it is also vital if you're going to listen to the rest of the series.

Couldn't stop listening!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it is a fantastic story. I listened to it on long runs, whilst doing laundry, gardening, walking the dog...you get the point. I purchased book 3 before book 2 was even finished so I didn't need to wait to continue the story. It is full of adventure and history with strong characters and a good pinch of humour too.

What does Davina Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Without the Scottish accents you wouldn't get the same authentic experience. At first in book 1 I thought her voice for Claire sounded too old but once I got used to it I thought she was perfect.
