I suppose Davina Porter was thrown off because in his first scene he said, “I’m from the North,” so she gave him a lovely Northern accent...just from the wrong country! Oops...<br />I do agree with everything you wrote. My library app (Libby) just added in the entire Outlander series a few months ago, and I’ve been listening ever since. They are wonderful. My only quibbles are with Jeff Woodman’s Jamie and also with Davina Porter’s Lord John - both a bit flat and dull. Brianna sounded half-British at first, but as the books went on, Porter seemed to settle more into her voice and it stabilized- sometimes I do hear a tiny bit of Boston in it. Still, I love her narration overall and I’m soooo glad to hear she’ll be doing Bees....and that Bees has reached a stage where she can start prepping it! This is soooo exciting!<br />By the way, speaking of audiobooks, I also enjoy the Aubrey-Maturin (Master and Commander) series on audiobook. That’s another blissfully long series with well-drawn characters in a similar setting. (The quantity and content of a naval diet seem rather more realistic in these than in Voyager, actually.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-80441675517379859252020-09-07T11:27:50.349-04:002020-09-07T11:27:50.349-04:00I totally agree with you about the voices in Scott...I totally agree with you about the voices in Scottish Prisoner. It is the only audio book I bought from Diana's world and I was disappointed to say the least. I had already read the book and loved it, so I think that added to the disappointment.
