In the first chapter of Drums of Autumn, Jamie is not sure whether to remain in Charleston or proceed north towards Wilmington. Of course, Young Ian and Duncan prefer to go north.

Outlander: The Abortion Topic
I went away during the Christmas Holidays (which is nice), but came back with a strong strain of a cold (I could not celebrate the New Year). I endured three days of high fever, and two days of muscle weakness and shivering. It seems I ended up with laringitis. I might not be able to […]
Continue readingOutlander: Stephen Bonnet as a Half-Ghost
If you frequently come to read my Outlander posts, you may have noticed that one of the topics that I often discuss is the main characters as half-ghosts.

I enjoyed watching Episode 404 yesterday night via the Amazon Prime application. Of course, we were told in advance that Jamie’s struggle against the bear would be different.

One of my favorite quotes of the Outlander Series is in Drums of Autumn, ch. 15: “What possessed ye, woman, to hit me in the heid wi’ a fish whilst I was fighting for my life?” The quote is amusing when it is read. It is a comic relief especially after the struggle that both […]

The prologue of Drums of Autumn is one of those. With a second read, it comes to the mind that it is Brianna’s point of view […]

Continue readingOutlander: Symbolism of the Blue Color, How It Relates to Claire, and Jamie’s Ghost
This post is an idea that came to me while discussing Dragonfly in Amber on Twitter. The association between Claire and the blue color was brought up to me by one of the ladies who manages Outlander Central. Since then, I decided to delve further into this topic. The featured image is a “Montana Sapphire” […]

Edgar’s wife is one of the characters that I wanted to know more about in A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Based on Tom Christie’s account, the person guilty of murdering his brother is Mona, Malva’s mother. In book 6, Malva mentions to Claire that her mother used to have vitriol (sulphur). In book 7, […]
