The Strange Case of Finley Jayne

The Steampunk Chronicles: The Prequel

De: Kady Cross

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

Finley Jayne knows she's not "normal". Normal girls don't lose time, or have something inside them that makes them capable of remarkably violent things. Her behavior has already cost her one job, so when she's offered the lofty position of companion to Phoebe, a debutante recently engaged to Lord Vincent, she accepts, despite having no experience. Lord Vincent is a man of science with his automatons and inventions, but Finley is suspicious of his motives where Phoebe is concerned. She will do anything to protect her new friend, but what she discovers is even more monstrous than anything she could have imagined.

An exclusive prequel to The Steampunk Chronicles.

Clearly a prequel

The narration was excellent and overall this was an enjoyable listen. It was clearly a prequel as the last chapter felt less like a conclusion and more like a nod to the rest of the story. Don’t misunderstand me, the story was still interesting enough, it just was not written as a stand alone book. The plot was a bit predictable and the supporting characters were more than a little flat but it served its purpose of leaving the listener wanting to know more about Finley Jayne.

Very enjoyable

Would you listen to The Strange Case of Finley Jayne again? Why?

I would listen to this again in fact the first thing I did when I finished was to see if there were any more books by this author

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the narrator was easy to listen to. She has a very clear and pleasant voice and does characters very nicely

Finley Jayne

I loved every thing about the book except the ending. I wanted it to go on and on with no ending. I have listened to it over fifty time and own all the books.

Enjoyable, but didn't wow me.

Any additional comments?

This is a short story which is a prequel introduction to a series. I found it enjoyable. Finley was an interesting and pretty likeable character, but I found the plot a bit silly. As far as "Steampunk", I'm not sure I would quite classify it as such. There are automatons, etc. But the Victorian atmosphere was very thin. I may read the next (officially first) book in this series, but was not inspired to want to do so right away.

And

You must read the texts of them I so sad they aren't audio books it's so sad
