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.

Awesome

Davina Porter is amazing. I love the way she reads each character. Story is a bit slow at times but still very addicting. Can't wait to hear the next book.

Amazing Sequel

Would you listen to Dragonfly in Amber again? Why?

Absolutely! The story is riveting and the storyteller was superb

Who was your favorite character and why?

I can't pick just one, but I like Murtagh and Roger for secondary characters. Murtagh is a crusty old loyal friend who would help one bury the bodies without flinching. Roger is so intrepid and a dry witty personality.

Of course, Jamie and Claire!

Which scene was your favorite?

SPOILER*****

Jamie and Claire back at Crag Na Dun right before Culloden.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Haha, yes, I suppose I did, but that would have been physically impossible.

Any additional comments?

Not a story to miss, but should definitely be read in order after the first book.

Great Story to Listen Time after time

If you could sum up Dragonfly in Amber in three words, what would they be?

Great Historical Romance

What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

She tells the story as if it's just the two of you in the room....not at all 'stilted or 'scripted'...

Any additional comments?

I've read all the books as audiobooks except for the last few so I'm starting fresh and reading them again....it's the type of story that a person can go back & listen to over and over again....kind of like an family story that gets retold many times.

Love Jamie Fraser!

*Sigh*
I absolutely love these books so far. It took me so long to finish this one because I haven't had time to read much lately. I actually listened to it on audio and thought it was amazing. The narrator was brilliant with her acting and voices that I felt like I was in the book with the characters. The books are very long though. Extremely long. This was over 38 hours of listening. It's almost a full work week. It was well worth it though.

Jamie Frasier is to die for. And the accents the narrator was able to use were just an added bonus to the wonderful story.
To listen to Claire and Jamie's story was absolutely compelling and the ending was just ... *sigh* ... yeah ... you'll have to read it yourself.

I highly recommend this series, preferably in audiobook, but I'm sure a real book is just as good.
