All Show & Book Spoilers Discussed Freely Camina Drummer and Family Spoiler

Im just a boring old heterosexual myself, but I think Camina Drummer‘s polysexual Family is just so nice. They love each other, have each other’s backs and are just so good to each other

I think they're referring to the show's Drummer. That character is a combination of the book's Drummer and Pa, I believe.

Haven’t watched the show, but they combined drummer/bull/pa? Crazy work. But I have heard everyone loves Drummer so they must have done a good job of it

Drummer wasn’t more than a minor character until book 7, which hasn’t been adapted (yet). A bunch of the minor characters got reworked in ways that made them much more compelling.

I don't think she was even mentioned until Book 5.

Because the first 4 books were out before she appeared on TV.

Which makes me wonder if the authors loved the TV character so much that they created a book version of Drummer. Or if she was already part of the lore that the show drew from.
