l’histoire est tjrs aussi incroyable. par contre, les chapitres sont interminablesssssss et les 1200 pages ne sont pas nécessaires, beaucoup d’éléments auraient pu être coupés et le roman aurait été meilleur…

The fourth installment of the Outlander series is very interesting. Clair and Jaime are now in the Colony of North Carolina, having crossed the Atlantic and made their way from the Indies in Voyager. After meeting up with family at Cross Creek and meeting with the Colonial Governor, they end up claiming land in the Blue Ridge of Appalachian Mountains, settling in with Ian and Fergus to homestead at Frasier's Ridge (Gabaldon says it's more or less where Grandfather Mountain is).

The Drums of Autumn also bring us two more time travelers, who have to make their way across the Atlantic from Scotland to the Colonies and up to the Ridge. Do they make it? What happens to them? Are they met with open arms? 

Like the rest of the series, this book could have been 200 pages shorter without any problem.
