Reading Villette after Jane Eyre certainly makes Villette feel much saucier! In terms of overall story, I think it's hard to beat Jane Eyre, it's basically the perfect novel. I find Villette much funnier, lighter, and wittier. Ginevra Fanshawe is a phenomenal character, and I love love love her relationship with Lucy.
