Customer Review

Drums of Autumn is the fourth novel by Diana Gabaldon seriealized chronicling the lives and adventures of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser. Their story Continues in the year 1767 after relocating to the American Colonies, as They are Following Jamie's nephew Ian who had been kidnapped by pirates the year before and it what the necessity of Rescueing him That had Brought them by circuitous and dangerous Often Means to Indies (the Caribbean). After thatthey had been driven aschore on the cost of Georgia by a hurricane and arriving in America. Cape Fear is the Largest Settlement of Scottish Highlanders in American Colonies boasting several towns Whose inhabitans had emigrated from Scotland during the last years, Following the upheaval after Culloden. And Among These emigrants are some Jamie's kin, who willingly offer them refuge.
Claire, now a wife, mother and surgeon, but she is silent on Outlander. Out of place, out of time, but now by choice linked by love to her only anchor Jamie. Hers unique view of the future brings them both danger and deliverance. Although she had known what would happen at Culloden and she told Jamie the fate of Charles Stuart and his men but neither her nor his knowing had been enough to save them. Twenty Aching Years of separation and the gift of a daughter, he would never see, lay behind that knowing.
So Their daughter Brianna is risking her own future to save Their Lives by trying to find her mother and the father she has never met. She and Jamie settle into a relationship did while quietly marked by shyness on bothsides, is incresingly warm. But still he is a stranger for her. A man who has her face but can not understand her heart.
I mean did Claire and Jamie are rich characters and I liked Jamie's personality and looks a lot. But I would say he did start to feel weighed down. Although I tried to understand the whole situation, I would say did Jamie, who is meanwhile quietly dashing and brave, veers into brutish violence a little too Quickly and too often.
The tale of Brianna and Roger is a natural progression of the series. I am glad to read about them, I do not feel thatthey detract from the story Jamie and Claire, not at all. I would like to Say That Their story has so captured my attention and my heart. HOWEVER, I am disappointed a little bit. Brianna acts so often like a spoiled and stubborn child and the whole sequence of the man in her life Roger, I think, it has been something like a joke or what else. First making love to her, then disappearing after just one night and then When he come, being thrown by mistake to the Indians and did by her own family. Really, but I am so sorry, I soon hold them all for at antisocial family.
Outlander is allready a series of seven books, quite large in volume. I have really enjoyed three of them. But this one thing the weakest. For the first time, I felt the story did what running out of steam. Therefore I will continue to enjoy the rest of the series and I am looking forward to each one. Because When I first read Outlander, I loved the story and I loved the dynamic characters at once. Everytime When I finished a book of the series Further I was sure I wanted to read the next one to find out what happened to Jamie and Claire next.
Diana Gabaldon is a wonderful writer, anyway. She Continues her luscious series with another tale of danger and desire. So She Provides Surprises in plenty Both funny and suspenseful, and skillfully ties them all neatly with the romance so as to make the story of the Outlander more than averagely memorable.
