 spellbound August 20, 2008
What can I say about Diana's fourth outlander series. I was truly spellbound. I can not wait to get my hands on the Fiery Cross. I can't wait to find out what more could possibly happen to Claire and Jamie. What an amazing love story!!!
great August 7, 2008
The book came quicky and was in excellent shape. The book itself is really, really wonderdul!
This is some of the best historical fiction I have ever read. I'm re-reading the entire series.
Historical Adventure...I Love It July 15, 2008

Diana Gabaldon is an amazing story teller. I really enjoyed this the fourth installment in the Outlander series.
I don't know what I could say about this book that someone hasn't already said. I will add my two cents and say that I like the character Brianna. I think that it's important to put into perspective that she comes from a time when people aren't considered adults at the ripe old age of seventeen. And she has been given a lot to deal with in a short period of time, she seems a bit impulsive and immature but she's twenty two years old...
I enjoyed the love story between Brianna and Rodger and the adventures in Drums were just as exciting as all the others.
I am hooked! I will be reading ALL of the books in the series! It's wonderful escapist adventure with a fabulous background in historical fiction.
If anyone knows if there are more books coming out after Snow and Ashes will you let me know...I read in The Outlandish Companion that Gabaldon was going to publish a prequel to Outlander and I tried to find out more but couldn't.
 The Time Shifting Clan Grows May 16, 2008
A little scattered, with multiple shifting narratives, this fourth installment is still enjoyable for those who have been smitten with the Scottish Highlander Jamie and his time shifting wife Claire. I actually didn't find the book boring like some reviewers have, I just found it repetitious. Where the arrival of some characters from the earlier books are welcome and fun (Lord John for example) there is a recycled element to the book that left me wanting less of Brianna and her betrothed Roger, and more of Jamie and Claire. Once again she employs a pretty generic and stock villain who left me wondering is somebody always going to be raped in these stories?And while the first three books had some pretty terrific climaxes, this kind of peters out with a whimper. Still, the fact that this woman can clock a book in a over a thousand pages and still make it hard to put down, any quibbles feel pretty minor.
Time Out April 29, 2008

Jamie and Claire establish a settlement deep in the North Carolina mountains far from the winds of change which has racked their lives. But the DRUMS OF AUTUMN concerns their daughter Brianna and the man who loves her enough to travel through time, Roger.
Neither of the second generation are strong enough to compete with the power of Jamie and Claire Fraizer. Time outs stop a story in its tracks and this installment in the series is no exception. If the reader is familiar with the story and has read the previous books then it is an acceptable read. But as a stand alone the title does not have enough substance to sustain it.
