Books I’ve already read this month:
Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
The second in the series, this one is a little bit of a slower read than the first book, Outlander, or at least it was for me but that didn’t mean I didn’t love it any less. Reading my sister’s super well read copy, the pages beneath my fingertips, and the characters leaping off the page. Jamie remains one of my favourite male characters, though he still often does the wrong things for the right reasons and vice versa. Claire is daring, courageous and often foolish.
Good for: Those who like time traveling or historical fiction, because this book has the best of both worlds.
Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
The third in the series, this book didn’t capture my attention as quickly as I wanted it to. But the mystery, intrigue and conflict soon did. With Claire apart from all she knows, in so many different ways, and Jamie’s life changing rapidly it makes for a truly good read. The introduction of newer characters, such as Roger make it all the more interesting.
It was great, exploring other parts of the world with the characters.
This book allowed me to avoid reality for a little while, and enjoy a world completely apart from our own.
Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon
This is a book I absolutely tore through, the fourth in the series, and the last one I own. I ended up kicking myself when it was over, fully aware that pay day, and the money I needed to buy books was so very far away.
Brianna’s character grows, and in some ways resembles Jamie’s so strongly that there’s no doubting, even in literature they are father and daughter. Roger’s trials were treacherous and yet wonderful, and so detailed and well written.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, and find out what else will happen to the characters.
