This book is perfect. I found Alexa Donne through her Youtube channel and bought her books.
I was reluctant to read this one as it's meant to be Jane Eyre in Space, and Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books of all time. I though I wouldn't be able to enjoy Brightly Burning without comparing it to the original.
But how wrong I was. I loved it so much!
Brightly Burning is one of those books that's just a lot of fun to read. I think it stands on its own especially for the YA audience. I think Alexa did an amazing job, remaining faithful to Jane Eyre's main themes and storyline while telling the story in her own unique way. I especially liked the outer space setting, the new charachters and the strong commentary on class.
I love Alexa's writing and can't wait to read her other titles.
