I know I am a little bit behind with everything. I have not even watched the fifth season yet because I had some guests at home. However, I have been reading again book 5. I am aware that many describe The Fiery Cross as not an easy read. It looks like the plot starts slowly […]

Outlander: Interesting Quotes from Drums
In the first chapter of Drums of Autumn, Jamie is not sure whether to remain in Charleston or proceed north towards Wilmington. Of course, Young Ian and Duncan prefer to go north. However, Jamie is more concerned about sending his nephew back to his sister as soon as possible. Young Ian mentions that having him […]
Continue readingOutlander: The Prologue in Drums of Autumn
Usually, when we read an Outlander novel for the first time, readers cannot determine the character associated with the prologue, especially as new characters are introduced and become important. The prologue of Drums of Autumn is one of those. With a second read, it comes to the mind that it is Brianna’s point of view […]
Continue readingRereading Voyager: The Entity at Abandawe
I have been planning to write a post about the possible presence of an entity at Abandawe since three years ago (after reading Voyager for the first time). Since Season 3 of the TV adaptation is coming to an end in a few weeks, I think it is the proper time to write about it. […]
Continue readingThe Ghost Fish and its Association with Abandawe and Geillis
I decided to write this post a little bit sooner than what I originally planned. One of the reasons is that there is the scene in the last episode of Outlander in which Margaret Campbell tells Claire about Abandawe (Season 3, Episode 7, Crème de Menthe). I recommend reading the following posts: White Animals and […]

I have finally finished rereading Voyager, and this post will be about passages that reveal more about the series in general. Some of them foreshadow future events.

When I first read Voyager, I noticed certain characteristics about Mr. Willoughby that grabbed my attention. At that time, it was hard for me to have it explained. After finishing reading the whole Outlander series, most of the references about him started to fall into place. Of note is Mr. Willoughby’s attire. He wears blue, […]

This post will mainly be about Mr. Willoughby and some references in Voyager in regards to the behavior of short men. I recommend reading the following post, which I wrote a few weeks ago: About Short and Tall Men, and Monsters. I detailed Claire’s perception about short men. According to her, short men are not nice […]

********Spoiler Alert******* Chapter 18 is a significant chapter in many aspects. I have always wondered whether there is some meaning behind The Impetuous Pirate. Of course, the fact that the narration is taking place on a ship foreshadows the trip that Claire and Jamie will undertake across the Atlantic. They will face issues with pirates […]
Continue readingRereading Voyager: About Short and Tall Men, and Monsters!
This post is of a speculative nature, and I suggest reading this post about Voyager’s prologue first. Rereading Voyager – The Prologue In Chapter 17, Claire expresses some concerns about short men. Her daughter Brianna is interacting with one of them. Apparently, she has warned her daughter to be cautious about them. Here are some of […]
