It had been years since I’d read Jane Eyre, and Sharon Shinn is amazing at everything else, so I couldn’t wait to read Jenna Starborn. I loved it. I’m skeptical when it comes to re-tellings, but Jenna Starborn was in such a different setting and time period, I couldn’t complain about anything. I loved Jenna. What a spunky and strong woman. The science fiction aspect was very cool and creative, and she followed the original Jane Eyre almost to the T, save the fact that it wasn’t as dark. Where Jane Eyre is a classic gothic novel, I thought Jenna Starborn was a lighter and more hopeful story. Brilliant creativeness with the “mad wife” idea! You rock Sharon Shinn.
