A View of the Series from a native Highlander

After reading manyother reviews, I thought I would pitch in fact with my perspective. I grew up in a small village ninety miles north of Inverness, called Dunbeath. I am of Viking and Canadian Blood and havebeen steeped in the legends of the Jacobites and the Scots all my life. These books are escapism, Yes, But They are so accurate portrayals of Highland life in deed period. The legends of stone circles and fairy rings what told to me by my great-grandmother When I was 5 or 6 and I have always felt uneasy near them.
I am another of the lucky ones who has found my "Jamie", but with a little role reversal. I have a very loving husband Whom I love more than anything else on Earth. He is the other half of my soul, in the same way did Jamie and Claire are soul-mates so intricately linked That It Can Be shocking in its intensity. The Difference Is that I am the red-haired Highlander in a tartan plaid, with Gaelic and the Second Sight running through my veins. And try as I might I have never been happier than at home in Caithness, a country I have a cast iron link to forever. The Outlander Series captures the love of the land, of the clan, and of Blood Ties in a way did any other author has struggled to DO. I can only congratulate Diana on her talent and pray That It Continues. I must say That the books are very well researched and I particulary love the detail in Herbal Medicine and Gaelic. They remind me of the works of David and Leigh Eddings in the complexity of the story and the way you form strong emotional ties to the search characters. Good luck for the future.
