Titles to Watch Out For This month the Militant Recommender recommends Ironskin by Tina Connolly is a magical steampunk fantasy Jane Eyre-like story that from the first page draws the reader into the original world that the author brings to vivid life. Jane Eliot was a survivor. There was a war, a war between the populace and the fey. Jane has been scarred in the war and must keep it contained behind the "ironskin" mask that covers one side of her face. Scarred as she is, she possess a quick and sardonic wit and a sense of adventure so when she sees an ad for a governess position for a child "born during the war", she decides to give it a go and accepts the position. If you are in the mood for a dark and romantic story be sure to check out Ironskin! Community The Tiger Caf is now open at Grace Place!
