I took me a whole year to finish Drums of Autumn, and I told myself I would read one Outlander book each year after. But it’s been two years since then. The only reason I finished The Fiery Cross in 2 weeks was because it was a library audiobook and I could increase the speed. This was my first Outlander series on audiobook, and I wasn’t a huge fan.
The Fiery Cross is basically Drums of Autumn part 2, it just continues the plot and nothing happens! 55 hours/1440 pages of nothing new. The plot itself is also problematic. There are racist descriptions of Native Americans and Black enslaved people. It’s unclear to me if it’s supposed to be the characters or just Diana Gabaldon. It doesn’t matter what the reason, it’s there and full of white saviorism. It was such a slog, and definitely the last Outlander book I’ll read.
