rock_facts 's review for:
Drums of Autumn
by Diana Gabaldon
update 11/15/19: 3.75/5 stars. I definitely like book Brianna more than show Brianna, but I still don't like Roger at all. And I have no interest in their relationship. I don't like their relationship and really don't want upcoming books to start to focus on them.
update 11/11/19: I'm about 70% done with the book at the moment and just feel the need to share how I feel about Diana's books so far in this series. There have been times while reading that I wish I could skip descriptions or long drawn out scenes and it seems that whenever I'm not reading these books I dread picking them back up, but once I do I get so lost in the world that's been created. I think it's their daunting size that makes me reluctant to read. I've just realized why I love them, despite being scared off by them. They come across as historical contemporaries in a way (an oxymoron, I know) . The everyday lives of the characters are so detailed and well thought out. Every mundane thing shines through and I really enjoy reading about the lives of the characters. I like learning about the history from the time period these books take place and I'm fascinated by the ways in which people lived. I don't read contemporary novels. They're just not my cup of tea. I live in my world every minute of everyday and I enjoy picking up a fantasy novel and being somewhere else. But the historical context of the Outlander novels makes me feel apart from my world while also putting me in a position to relate to the characters more. (I don't know if any of this makes sense. I can't seem to find the words to describe how I feel).
