Copperhead Ironskin Tina Connolly 9780765330604 Books

My biggest gripe with the first book in this series, Ironskin, was that I liked a touch more romance in my Fantastical Bronte-esque fiction.

Not so with the second in this series, Copperhead.

In Ironskin we are introduced to a society where the fey and humans have had a big war and now the fey seemed to all but have disappeared back into the forest from whence they came. Except for the startling beautiful faces of the Hundred Society women Rochart made out of fey-infused clay in the first book, Ironskin.

Now Ironskin's main character, Jane, is trying to replace the fey faces with the Hundred's original faces-- including that of her sister, Helen.

Helen wants to help, but what's a girl whose fooled everyone into believing she's air-headed and ditzy to do when fey bits start appearing all over town, Jane disappears, and a secret society begins constructing strange apparatus, making curfews, and taking over the town?

And what about that strange man in black who keeps appearing when Helen needs him most?

Although you could plunge into Helen's story without reading Ironskin, first, I recommend reading the books in order. I think Helen's discovery of her own powers-- with or without her fey face-- are made more poignant by having learned of Jane's story in the first book.

While I did get a bit tangled up when it came to the climactic Helen vs. the Fey King scene at the end to who was doing what with which bits of fey, Helen herself is so much fun to hang along with as she tries to reconcile the role she's played as the dutiful wife and daughter with the desires to protect her sister and the city, that it doesn't matter. The understated, quiet building of feelings between her and the man in black also kept the romance lover in me reading on.

A lovely addition to the series featuring a heroine just as plucky as Jane, but in her own way. (and still a lovely Bronte-esque society without the major borrowings from Jane Eyre that Ironskin had)

Copperhead Ironskin Tina Connolly 9780765330604 Books Reviews

Copperhead is the sequel to Ironskin, and like its predecessor, it's inspired by a Brontë novel. Ironskin was a steampunk-esque take on Charlotte's Jane Eyre, while Copperhead is inspired by Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. While some elements are similar, the actual story itself is completely different from "Tenant".

We're back in the world where the humans are at war with the fey. The Copperhead organisation are essentially Nazis and do their best to weasel themselves into power.

On the one hand, Helen is a society belle with a wealthy husband who's a Copperhead member. On the other, she's the sister of a woman trying to strip everyone of the beautiful, transplanted faces before they're taken over by fey, and Helen is uncomfortable with Copperhead's anti-dwarvven politics. As characters go, I found Jane more sympathetic than Helen, so reading a book where Helen takes centre stage is frustrating, at times. In a sort of "stop worrying about getting your skirt dirty and GET ON WITH IT!" kind of way.

Then again, the things I found frustrating about Ironskin, like the abrupt ending, didn't feature here. When I had reached the end, if anything, I was wondering if there would be another part to the story.

At any rate, I thought the book was well-written, I really like the world setting (it's never specified by name what city it is, or even which country, but it has a British sort of feel to it), and Frye is a great character.

If you enjoyed Ironskin and wanted more, you should definitely read Copperhead, because it's good fun.
It's rare that a sequel is just as enjoyable as the original (especially when the original is as good as Ironskin!), but Copperhead is exciting, engrossing, nonstop entertainment. Highly recommended!
It was a good read, quick and not overly romantic, I enjoyed the heroine's personality and the plot was interesting.
I enjoyed Ironskin, the predecessor to Copperhead, quite a bit. It's got a compelling enemy, a fun story and a clever use of magic. Despite a few dull passages, there was typically enough going on. That's not the case with Copperhead.

I'm about 1/3 of the way though and it's beyond boring. I'm forcing myself to read, only because I paid for it and feel I ought to. I hope it picks up soon, because now it's totally dull.
Copperhead by Tina Connolly is every bit as good as Ironskin. Connolly weaves an apt sequel, her writing always fluid and captivating, her prose somewhere between poetry and pure enchantment. I love the fey and the incredible world building, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a dash of dangerous fairy magic in their fiction.

I received an arc from the author in exchange for an honest review. And, now that the book has finally released, I just purchased a digital copy so I can read it again.
