Awesome little novella about Finley Jayne the most hardcore female protagonist I've met in a long time. She embraces her strength and actually uses it to do good, she does not complain or whine, she is protective, loyal, and independent. I loved it.

3.5 stars. Funny and simple read with a badass main character. I quite liked it and I will start the girl in the steel corset soon!

This is a great story! I am pleasantly surprised that I found it as a free e-book exclusive on the kobo website. After reading this story which is a mix of a period piece and a modern story, I cannot wait to read the rest of the steampunk chronicles!

This novella provided a nice backstory for Finley, and it gave me some more insight into her personality. This was a fun little read that tied in nicely to the start of the first book in the series.
May or may not do a full review, depending on time.

The Strange Case of Finley Jayne is a short story prequel that takes place before the rest of the series. I haven't read the [b:The Girl in the Steel Corset|9166877|The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles, #1)|Kady Cross|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1297987541s/9166877.jpg|14046028] yet so perhaps I will like that better, but I found myself just kind of skipping through a lot with this story. Everything that happened was just too convenient and of course Finley managed to save the day to everyone's delight.
I'm hoping the longer novel will be much more fleshed out than this was. I think that Cross sets things up nicely in the end for The Girl in the Steel Corset. Hopefully it delivers.

interesting piece of the overall stories. not completely necessary to understanding the other full books in the series, though.
