I could not put this down for days. A beautifully epic story of sacrifice and love of all kinds.

Absolutely fabulous. Things are moving along quite well. Can't wait to read on and see where everyone else ends up.
I didn't find this book as enticing as the previous in this series. I was captivated by the first book, and quickly requested the rest of the series on the library's E-book site. I felt like this book was a filler or bridge, preparing the story for bigger and better plots. At least I hope so. I'll read the next, but without my previous enthusiasm. Another reviewer commented on the characters becoming two dimensional. I agree with that. Roger and Brianna were flat in this book, not jumping off the page as in previous books. Even Claire and Jamie weren't richly depicted, as I was used to. I don't like spoilers so I won't read reviews of the book. Crossing my fingers it's better.
I pounced on this book as soon as I learned the Outlander would be made into a series on Starz. Like her other books, Drums of Autumn is a big, thick book although it's time period seems much shorter than others. As the Frasers move to the mountains of North Carolina, I'm struck by the way Gabaldon weaves in so many different ethnic and historical motifs. I'm far from an expert on Native Americans and the traditions of the Indies, and I confess to getting a bit lost in the Geilie and Dougal story that seems to weave in and out, but it all makes for a fascinating story.
Not giving away much is difficult in this particular book. People join Claire and Jamie, some leave, Frank is always present (in more so in many ways this time around). But I think fans of the first three books may be thrilled with how this novel comes to fruition.
