Note to all the authors that have their books set in Edinburh or Scotland: I get it now. I do. I get it why you speak so highly of the city and the land. I get it now what you feel when you describe places through your characters’ eyes. I. Get. It. (I’m looking at you, Samantha Young, Karen Marie Moning, Diana Gabaldon, Julie Garwood, etc).
When in Edinburgh, me and Tate couldn’t grasp the beauty of the city and the culture and the people. I found myself thinking (on multiple occations) how I can picture myself living there and walking this streets every day. I can’t put into words how much I feel about this city.
As I mentioned before, Edinburgh through the eyes of a reader is fantastic. You might not know but On Dublin Street series by Samantha Young is set in Edinburgh and is also one of my favorite book series ever ever ever so of course I had to visit the streets she included in the titles.
It’s so much easier to picture the lifes of the characters now that I’ve seen the streets and how close to one another they lived. I know the book is fictional but it puts a smile on my face every time I think about those characters and their lives on these streets.
Yeah I know, Geek Alert!
But whatever. 🙂
