Drums of Autumn

This book was more fast paced than Voyager and I had a hard time putting it down. IT was more character based and less movement around the globe. Voyager went from Scotland to Jamaica to North Carolina, but this was more based in North Carolina. It told more of the story of Brianna and Roger and how they fit into the lives of Jaime and Claire. Intereting use of historical data and the relationships between father/daughter and father/son-in-law.

I'm glad that Claire is a strong female character and breaks out of the expected female role in that time period. Brianna follows in her mother's footsteps and I love her strong temperment too. I'm glad the author also spent time on the story of the Indians as so much rich culture was lost.

You know a story is good when it makes one want to go back and study the history of the day. I can't wait to see what happens in the next two books.
