Drums of Autumn

Dang, was this a long book! Even listening to the audiobook, it seemed to take forever. And yet, for the most part, I enjoyed this book - there are some events that are impossible to enjoy, but I do love these characters, and I like following along with their adventures. That being said, my favorite scenes are the quiet family moments when they're all gathered together, without threat or immediate danger, simply enjoying each others' company.

I've already seen the show, so I knew most of what was coming, but there were still some surprises - plot points that were omitted or handled differently, and it was nice to get more detail on some of the events from the show as well. Overall, this is another good addition to a wonderful series, not my favorite but certainly not my least favorite. The ending is a bit abrupt, however.
