Genre: Historical Fiction
Format: π§
Audiobook Narration: βββββ
Pub Date: 12.30.1996
Star Rating: ββββ
"Forgiveness is not a single act, but a matter of constant practice."
Four books of Outlander down!
For those keeping track, I'm buddy-reading the Outlander series with my friend Sarah! Every other month, we attempt to tackle another book in the series on audiobook. It took me a while to get into Outlander (book one). I enjoyed Dragonfly in Amber (that ending!), and Voyager (book 3) was my favorite! But, book 4? Oh gosh, it was not fun at all.
I struggled to find a connection point within the story. So many different things were occurring, and characters added that I couldn't quite figure out what was happening for a good chunk of the book. My favorite storyline for Drums of Autumn was Bree and Roger - they added another dimension to the story, and I was excited to see more from them.
I hope The Fiery Cross will quickly get me back into the Outlander universe! We'll be starting that in October.
