This is a fun retelling of [b:Jane Eyre|10210|Jane Eyre|Charlotte Brontë|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327867269s/10210.jpg|2977639] set in space. I haven't read Jane Eyre in many years, but have more recently seen the movies, and the storyline hits all the high points. Purists may quibble with one larger change, but it worked for this story. The major issue here is what a jerk Hugo is almost the entire time, and I can't remember if Rochester is just as jerky in the original. Overall, though, a really fun dystopian retelling.
