A review by melifly
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
5.0
I'm not over how incredible this book is. The story is so rich and dense and eventful and I love it.
There are so many amazing characters, not only the main ones but also the secondary!! I could find aspects of (most of) their personalities that I think reflect on me as well, so they felt particularly real to me.
I'm not sure I'll find enough words to phrase how it felt to be into this world, because I was really overwhelmed by it.
I loved living the tale through Claire's point of view and learning about her reflections, internal struggles and worries and together trying to elaborate what she was going through -which must have been reasonably terrifying, but yet she managed to face it with strength and bravery. She is also self reliant and very caring, after all.
Jamie. Do I really need to say anything?? He is simply wonderful; good hearted, brave, understanding, intelligent (and has suffered too much my heart hurts).
Their love story is one of the most beautiful/romantic I have read about, they seem to be made for each other.
Throughout the development of the plot we've seen quite a variety of settings, each of them very peculiar, such as Scotland's breathtaking landscapes; castle Leoch; Lallybroch; Eldridge Mansion; the abbey of Ste. Anne de Beaupré (I loved the scenes here... I was pleasantly surprised with the dialogues between Claire and father Anselm! this stage of the novel was so deep and dense).
The ending was splendid as well!!! I'm looking forward to book two and the twists of the plot.
I'm sure there's more to be said, but at the moment I can't think of it.
