There is no longer the epic forbidden romance component; the whole novel feels as though the auther went back to re-read the first book and re-wrote it with the twist of a robot re-moved. Another book where the characters aren't very likable and the book falls apart... much more Wuthering Heights then Jane Eyre. The world building and the author's distinctive style; very gothic are the only commendable parts of the book in my perspective. (  )Jacey25 | Oct 7, 2008 |   I wept over Silver Metal Lover, a response that few books have elicited in me. This book, although extremely interesting, was very much a departure from the previous novel. It's less romantic, more angry-passionate-gritty, and actually refutes the previous novel's romantic imagery directly in text. Still, it adds to the story of the first, but more importantly, it's a new story in its own right. (  )rbaech | Aug 6, 2008 | I liked this. Read Silver Metal Lover first, or you will lose the impact of many revelations throughout the story. Although this story didn't head in the direction my little girl heart was hoping, I still enjoyed reading it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553584715, Mass Market Paperback)In her now-classic tale The Silver Metal Lover, award-winning author Tanith Lee told the spellbinding story of Jane and her forbidden love for a robot named Silver. In this stunning follow-up, the legend of their tragic romance lives on. But nothing is as it was–or as it seems.…As an orphan growing up in the slums, Loren read her clandestine copy of Jane’s Story over and over, relishing every word. But Loren is no Jane. Savvy and street-smart, Loren could never be stirred by a man of metal, her passion never ignited by an almost-human–even one designed for pleasure. Still, when the META corporation does the unthinkable and brings back updated versions of robots past–Loren knows she must see Silver. And just like Jane, it is love at first sight. But Silver is now Verlis. If he was perfection before, he is now like a god. Yet he is more human than his creators think–or fear. While Loren doesn’t quite trust him, she will follow her twice-born lover into a battle to control his own destiny–one that will reveal to her the most astonishing illusion of all.
