For me, I think Ironskin is one of those stories where I need uninterrupted time. Where I can sit down and just read. If I could do that, I have no doubt Ironskin would be fabulous because while I was reading it, I was there, walking along with Jane, wondering what was going on. But the moment I put...
Elements of classic literature ignite this novel, heavily re-interpreting Jane Eyre into a science fiction mystery. The cadence of narration is peaceful and the story of the Fairy Wars and the years after vivid. While wonderful to a point, Ironskin veers sharply towards the end in a direction unknow...
This is a retelling of Jane Eyre. I usually enjoy those and found myself having fun putting together the people of the classic book to the one's in this book. The characters do have similarities, but there are major differences. In this book, there was a war with the Fae and our Jane is not plain, b...
Tina Connolly’s Ironskin is set in a world where man met fey, loved fey (and fey technology), then (eventually) fought fey. Some of the survivors still carry the scars of that war, and Jane is one of them. Her bit of embedded fey, her fey curse, brings out rage – in her, and in others – so she wears...

Jane Elliot lost her brother during the war, and has permanent scarring on...

3.5If you haven't guessed by the synopsis, this is a sort of Jane Eyre retelling. I didn't realize it was when I requested it, so I was stuck with it, hoping that it was a decent story.And it was. I was surprised. I usually don't read these kinds of fantasy stories, but I think the 'Eyreish' qualiti...
*Rating* 3.0*Genre* Steampunk*Review*I would say that had it not been for the ending of this book, I would have rated it much lower than I am. Not that there was anything wrong with the world building. For that, I have nothing but respect for the writer’s ability to put the reader into a different k...
Ironskin is a book that took me totally by surprise. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded interesting. I purposely didn’t read any reviews because I try not to before I read a book (on purpose anyway *blush*.) Since I read this as an ARC from NetGalley, that wasn’t hard. The point is, because ...
