Disappointing Narration
I have struggled to get through this book due to the poor narration. I, like so many, have fallen head over heels for Davina Porter’s version of Jamie Fraser, and in this book even though it is read by an actual man, I am constantly cringing from what seems to be a mix of Irish and Scottish accents. The narrator does not handle the switch between characters well and is some points there is clear one liners read in completely the wrong accent.
For myself the story got lost in the fight to enjoy the characters.

Narrator
I was disappointed with the narration as Jamie’s accent wavered between Irish and Scots. Having loved the Davina Porter readings of the Outlander series I was amazed that she was able to bring to life a tall male Scot and I did not feel the same sympathy with this Jamie. Ms Porter was able to animate a male fictitious character voiced by a woman to be thoroughly believable and dare I say loveable!..
