Wildthorn had a great premise, cover, description, and I love the genre, but it fell flat for me...
The beginning of the book was very interesting and Louisa is a likable character. Their is suspense, action, and great historical detail. I believe that the descriptions of the asylum were a bit "nice" and the overall premise of the book would be more suitable for an older audience.
I wanted a book about a girl with a challenge, to escape from Wildthorn asylum in the mid 1800's. This book described just that, but it left out an important detail, homosexuality. I believe it kind of turned Louisa into a bit of a stereotype.
The part of the book that through it off for me was the end... Why would I want to know about Louisa's homosexual sex life? This novel is a bit risque for a YA novel.
