anyone not like a book or a storyline?

Nah. I don't wish to go there again.

I was tired of William getting lost in the fog too. Terribly un-Jamielike of him. ;)

I had a really hard time with the second half of Voyager. The first part I liked, especially the reunion of Jamie and Claire. But soon after that there was too much running around, all the boat mayhem, the voodoo with the slaves, Mr. Willoughby.

I would have like to have seen more of them in Scotland, it's like they showed up and then were out to sea to get Ian and never returned (until Echo) It was too abrupt of a departure. They also spent so much time apart, there weren't enough Jamie and Claire moments. Partly because Marsali and Claire had to share a room, Claire abducted by the other boat... and so on.

Although some of my favorite parts were in this book: The reunion of Claire and Jamie, when Claire is recovering from her fever and Jamie is trying to talk through the door while Claire services him. LOL

I wonder if Mr. Willoughby will ever be brought back. I hope not!

Even though William has learned to hunt, etc, his bringing up was far different from Jamie's.

But he was brough t up to hunt. He was also brought up in the country. And he's in the military now. He just got lost too many times. I kept thinking, "What again?".

This is just a storyline that makes we want to scream "Wait, please talk to each other!" I'm in Drums of Autumn at the point where Jaime is beating up Roger not realizing he's the Wakefield that Bree is waiting for. I wish Jaime had talked with Roger, I wish Bree would have told her Dad they hand fasted, I wish Bree would have remembered someone yelling "MacKenzie!" when he finally caught up with Bree. I've read it before so I know what comes next but it's just making me sick right now. Roger goes through so much just to be with Bree.

I totally agree Carolyn!!! That was very frustrating, and made me so mad! Part of me hates Bree because she seems to be the cause of all his problems and she doesn't even act like she wants him - especially after they are reunited. I LOVE Roger - he's my second fav after Himself - and she just does not seem to deserve him. A very maddening storyline for sure!

[Carolyn F.]

And the way she treated him after he was unable to sing or even talk, I would have been a lot more sympathetic and all smoochy woochy on him. Bree just let this huge distance keep growing between them. This man waited for you after your mother left through the stones, when back in time, was beat by your father, sold into slavery by your father, was hung and nearly died - I would be kissing his feet and ass for the rest of my life! I really love Roger too.

[Evikes]

I'd love him to bits and would be greatful to him forever! Took the words right out of my mouth.

Thank you! thank you! thank you! To all who made comments regarding Roger! I felt so bad for him I thought, I just might throw my book across the room!!! I was actually angry with Bri, what's up with not telling her pa about being hand-fasted? Tell someone something! I would have ran right to the stones after all they put Roger through if I was him! After a good healthy slap to Bri, Mind ya!LOL
But, what was even worse to read...how she reacts to him when he is finally back! I agree with everyone else, I would have done ANYTHING he asked & more to prove to him I was worth all he had gone threw for me!!I also just NEVER got the feeling she was real happy & not very understanding of his feelings toward Jem & the unknown. I would have understood the feeling of uneasiness Roger would have had wondering who's baby it was and how it might hurt his pride thinking Bonner may have also taken this away. Bri always seemed to challenge him or dared him to even bring it up, I would have said I hope with all my heart it's yours, but if it's not, I hope you'll come to love him because you love me. Roger would have and we all know it! I felt Bri was very insensitive, Very challenging & self centered.
But I do admit, this stuff is what makes these books so wonderful! We get mad, we laugh, cry (a lot) for them & fall in love and sometime even dislike them & that's why we love these books (for me anyway! LOL)
Look a me ramble...SORRY!!! :)

[Evikes]

LOL Robin! That is exactly what keeps us hooked!!!
I have 'issues' with the Bree/Roger relationship and almost want to skip sections because she annoys me. Even after all the antagonists that have surfaced, she is still my least fav character (though I do see her soft side at times, she is overall cold and self centered).
Diana said in the OC that Bree was a hard character to crack and she did not 'speak' to her clearly (she was necessary for the story, but the series was only supposed to be 3 books long so she wasn't too worried)... HA!

[Robin]

LOL I don't have to say a thing, you nailed it right on! LOL She makes me crazy & personally I don't think she deserves Roger at all! Coming from Jamie & Claire I'd expect a little more..HAHA
I guess that's what makes for good reading.

[Robin]

Hey Eva-Maybe we could plot against Bri (sorry I have a daughter Brianna & this is how we spell Bree)anyway we could start a anti Bri club & maybe she will either change her ways or disappear and not come back???? Then we could hook Roger up with some sweet loving woman who will appreciate him! So, what do you think?? LOL Be nice right.... haha

[Carolyn F.]

I'm listening to Drums of Autumn which makes me slightly more sympathetic toward Bree for some reason. But I agree, as much as Roger has gone through physically and emotionally because of her and her pride, why does she make him work so hard for everything? Why does he have to be the one to make the first move constantly? If she's so much like her Dad, he's not like that and neither is her mother. I know she's afraid of him rejecting her, but give the guy a break. Just throw your arms around him and tell him how much you love him without all the games. So frustrating.

AMEN!!!!!! Love it!
Well,or else he could come to me, I'd put my arms around him & never let him go! haha

[Evikes]

Exactly, Carolyn! She did start improving in DOA and even in FC, but not to the point where she is what I would expect from Claire & Jamie's DNA! I wish Roger would just leave her and find someone who adores him and treats him with love & respect. I swear I hoped she would not get pregnant agin so he could leave at some point - not that he would ever walk away from Jem...

And Robin, I think being a member of an anti-Bree club would be fitting... but wait.... judging by the posts above, I think we already are!!!
