This sounds like it'll be a hard read, but I liked her characterization in Not a Drop to Drink so I'll most likely read it. <br /><br />THANK YE!Amber Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671652212967695538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-38813363811041737202015-08-31T07:58:19.745-04:002015-08-31T07:58:19.745-04:00I think this book is for me.

Ugh. Just not my kind of plot at all. Which is depressing, as it looks SO GORGEOUS. Felt like it could have been awesome, had it been a bit different ;p I don't like that pregnant part. Sigh. Or the no romance part. Hmph. So not for me :) But glad you liked a whole bunch of it anyway sweetie. <3 Thank you for sharing :)Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-8194456567081824492015-08-30T17:25:10.510-04:002015-08-30T17:25:10.510-04:00Now warned about the horrible first part at the as...Now warned about the horrible first part at the assylum, I think I'd really like this book, but I like Mindy McGinnis's writting and I really loved her first book if not so much the second!<br />And no romance whatsoever in this is not a bad thing for me at all, so I think I'll check it out for sure!

I'...Wow, this book definitely seems pretty dark. I'm a sucker for a well-written historical context so I'm really glad to hear that Mindy McGinnis pulled it off well :) I'm not sure if I would get through the beginning of the book – from what you've written it seems pretty horrible (not the writing, the content) – but I am definitely intrigued by the whole plot as well as Thornhollow. I'm gad you enjoyed it overall though.
