Ironskin by Tina Connolly
2.0
I never liked Jane Eyre.
Call it snobbery - call it lack of appreciation for the finer things. Whatever you'd like to call it, I always disliked it. Going into this, I probably should've known better solely because of that correlation BUT I wanted to try Ironskin. Now, fans of the original Jane, you might truly enjoy this. The world building is actually quite fantastic. The steampunkish elements were riveting/broke the norm. The main characters were even interesting and likeable. I can't really give you a solid reason why this didn't hit home for me but I struggled a bit with it.
Maybe it's time to go back and reevaluate my opinion of Jane Eyre, though. Possibly that might make Ironskin ring a little more true?
