My Thoughts
I'm going to start by saying how I'm not a big fan of historical novels. Sure, they're can be interesting like I totally loved Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte but it's not something I'd read often.
Needless to say, the book was one great read. The story alternates from present day to pieces of the past. It's a very gripping book, fast paced and unique.
I enjoyed reading Louisa's character. It's amazing to see her be strong whilst being in an asylum. She's always in the right frame of mind and always thinking what to do next in any situation.
I'm really not into LGBT romance. And there was a bit of that involved in the book. I'm not really comfortable reading that. Though, the book is fantastic on its own. A intriguing read.
