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.

Another Amazing Book

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

Absolutely. The story and the narration are both incredible.

What did you like best about this story?

I was very invested in the characters so I liked knowing what happened to them after the end of book one. The story carried me away into the magic all over again.

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

The accents that she affects are fantastical. She really creates a new dimension for the characters.

Who was the most memorable character of Dragonfly in Amber and why?

Most memorable for me would have to be Jamie. Why? There is no real answer, it is just a feeling.

Any additional comments?

Great Listen.

Davina’s voice is expressive

I actually am comforted by her voice be it Jamie’s rugged but soft voice and Colum’s rough deep raspy voice.
She can keep my attention in bumper to bumper traffic on Long Island on my 90 minute commute home.
I’ve cried in my car, let out shrieks of laughter, and felt all fuzzy inside too.
She’s amazing in how she has the Galic tongue rolling dialect down pat!!!

Too lengthy at the start

The first half of the book was fairly boring, if it hadn't been read to me then I wouldn't have finished it. Way too much plot contributed to politics and gossip. The last part of the book was much better though, and made me want to listen to the next one in the series.
Great performance in my opinion, really good contrast of character voices and accents.

I Still Can't Believe how Wrong I Was!

I am not a fan of romance novels. I am however, a fan of History. I was not aware of this series until out of boredom, I watched Outlander because it was free on Amazon Prime. I am absolutely thrilled with the highly intelligent storytelling the wise and witty and sometimes dark humor and the Fairly strict adherence to historical fact. This is a beautifully written story and is narrated with the effect the writer intended. That being said I do not like female narrators either but, this one is fabulous! I highly suggest this series with this narrator!
