Every time Jane killed someone, I heard that song from Chicago in my head ... they had it comin'!

Loved the homages to Jane Eyre, and the language used felt like a good match to Charlotte Bronte's style.

If I have a nitpick, it's that Jane Steele might acknowledge there are similarities in her story to that of Jane Eyre, but doesn't acknowledge the bonkers nature of the coincidences – Thornfield Hall for Jane Eyre, Mr. Thornfield for Jane Steele.

And the middle lagged a bit, but I forgive because I accept this is me being an impatient modern reader, since the pacing was a nice match to the original.

This was a near perfect read for me, and I want to gobble up more by this author.
