I think Tanith Lee's language in the book was so poetic and beautiful. The story was touching as well, even if Jane was a little weepy. Metallic Love, on the other hand.. it just went out of the believability bounds, and I couldn't empathize with the characters. The constant mention of Jane and Silver just made it worse, because it reminded me of a better book with better characters, not to mention a better plot.
