2.5 starsIt has always been forever, for me, SassenachVoyager was a massive book. I loved Season 3 of Outlander a lot, but Voyager not so much. I know that most of the things in Voyager is exactly the same in Outlander, but there was one problematic aspect which just can't be sidelined at all which was the Geneva and Jamie scene. That scene was so problematic and I'm so glad that the show cut part out. The reunion between Jamie and Claire was beautiful I really liked it. I also loved John Grey. By the last 100 pages of the book I was literally pushing myself to finish off reading. I ALSO DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT THE POV'S CHANGED FROM FIRST TO THIRD AND BACK AGAIN. That was so annoying and made me so confused. Another aspect I need to point out is the racism in this book. I know it's set in the 1700s but there's no need to make Yi Tien Cho so incredibly inhuman and mock the Asian culture. He was also depicted as an outsider where almost nobody, including Claire wanted to interact with him. I'm so glad that the show made Yi Tien Cho is respected by everyone more than what the book did. The phrases describing Yi Tien Cho was distasteful. Overall, I didn't love this book. There were moments I really liked, but I wasn't as in love with the book as I was with the show. I don't think I'll be reading Drums of Autumn until Season 4 comes out.
