Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4)
Diana Gabaldon
In this breathtaking novel, rich in history and adventure, #1 New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that started with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager. Once again spanning continents and centuries, Gabaldon has created a work of sheer brilliance. What if you knew someone you loved was going to die? What if you thought you could save them? How much would you risk to try? Claire Randall has gone to find Jamie Fraser, the man she loved more than life, and has left half her heart behind with their daughter, Brianna. Claire gave up Jamie to save Brianna, and now Bree has sent her mother back to the Scottish warrior who was willing to give his life to save them both. But a chilling discovery in the pages of history suggests that Jamie and Claire's story doesn't have a happy ending. Brianna dares a terrifying leap into the unknown in search of her mother and the father she has never met, risking her own future to try to change history . . . and to save their lives. But as Brianna plunges into an uncharted wilderness, a heartbreaking encounter may strand her forever in the past . . . or root her in the place she should be, where her heart and soul belong.

Liked it, thought it didn't have much plot/direction for almost half the book. Liked less than 3 but on par with 2.
And Davina Porter is brilliant, as usual.
Though I liked Brianna and Roger at the start, and obviously saw that they'd go through back in time , I must say that I didn't like their character development (or lack thereof) pretty much the whole second half.
Second time reading through:
- listening again because I was swept up in the 3rd book. I read that the season 3 of Outlander TV show is actually going to be parts of book 3 and book 4, so I'm re-reading these to recall the story.
- Enjoying the re-read, there are certain parts that are very vivid in my mind and others that are just a big blank in my memory! Also, being only this far in and trying to remember plot from last time, I'm looking for things that I remember being confused about before, or trying to remember how characters got from points A to C when B is forgotten. Liking it!
