34. Ironskin

By Tina Connolly (302 pp)

I finally read Tina's book and it is terrific! It's Jane Eyre with faeries. I don't think I've read Jane Eyre. My knowledge of the classics is practically non-existent. Ironskin is set 5 years after the great war with the fey. Jane goes to be a governess for a girl who was born during the war and the kid has turned out a little funky. All kinds of creepy stuff happens. The world of the story is so dense, there are all sorts of corners where there is something interesting and I was curious to know more. Great success for Tina's first novel.
