Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon

Where to begin!
I guess that's my main issue. SO MUCH happens that it's hard to keep track of it all. Lists of names and a brief synopsis of what's happened would be helpful!
Overall I'm satisfied with this sequel. I'm not a fan of Roger and Brianna's story line, but whatever. I guess I don't see them as well defined as Claire and Jamie. Or Ian. Or even ROLLO for that matter.
I loved seeing the history coming to life. I especially enjoyed learning of the Native Americans.
Maybe it's just me but I feel as if the reader is shut out a bit from Claire and Jamie's relationship where before we had total access. I think some of that (wanted) extra attention was channeled into Bree and Roger (unwanted).
That's my main complaint. Definitely looking forward to the next. And the next. And the next. And the next.
How long is she going to go? I don't know if I want her to go to their deaths or not.
Then again, what does death really mean? It's time travel, as my mom so eloquently puts it.
I recommend this series to anyone who likes historical fiction (or plain fiction, as this reads as such), fabulously developed characters, romance, politics, time travel, Scotland, or an excellent story line that's well-written. Read them in order, though, or you'll be lost.
