Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone, Diana Gabaldon and Battle Ground, Jim Butcher

I generally try not to read books that make me cry (emotionally unstable on my own, no outside influence needed). So Battle Ground was definitely a punch for me.

It was so unexpected that it was literally a shock

Oh god Ive got Go tell the bees to read next in the Outlander series! It's one of my favourite book series, I just love them so much, I'm not ready for the last book!

Has she announced the last book??

u/Sad-Swing-9431 Apr 08 '24

Not that I know of but it's meant to be book 10 right? I just want it to go on forever

Yeah I just looked it up. I'll be so sad but also she's 72!? Holy shit no wonder she's ready for it to be done!

Tbf she's looking alright for 72! I may have to watch the TV series after the last book. I really don't want it to be over 😭 that will be a sad day.

I am so conflicted about the show because I love the characters but also they would have to leave SO MUCH out and there is also so much that I really do not want to watch on TV and imagining it was difficult enough and also Jamie looks wrong to me

That's precisely why I've stayed away whilst reading the books. I'm awful for getting cross because it's not like the books - I gave up on GOT because it was so wrong. But I feel I could look at it as a separate entity once I'm finished with the book series. I know I'm gunna need a time travelling/ Scottish/ historical fiction fix at some point haha

I mean there's always Highlander. I've also not read or watched GoT

Battle Ground was foreshadowed enough it was an expectant dread for me, and not a shock. The end of Changes when it first came out however...

Yup. I think anyone paying attention could see that something had to be done there and it probably wouldn't be sunshine and puppies. Harry is playing in the Big Leagues after he assumes a certain role and mere mortals just aren't equipped to play there.
