A lovely girl grows up in isolation where her father, a powerful magus, has spirited them to in order to keep them safe. We all know the tale of Prospero's quest for revenge, but what of Miranda? Or Caliban, the so-called savage Prospero chained to his will? In this incredible retelling of the fantastical tale, Jacqueline Carey shows listeners the other side of the coin-the dutiful and tenderhearted Miranda, who loves her father but is terribly lonely. And Caliban, the strange and feral boy Prospero has bewitched to serve him. The two find solace and companionship in each other as Prospero weaves his magic and dreams of revenge. Always under Prospero's jealous eye, Miranda and Caliban battle the dark, unknowable forces that bind them to the island even as the pangs of adolescence create a new awareness of each other and their doomed relationship. Contains mature themes.… (mehr)

A beautiful retelling of The Tempest by Shakespeare (though I am not familiar with the original work). ( )

Fall 2018:

I really, really, REALLY so very deeply love everything that Carey puts her hands on. This was a superb retelling, from the inside, about the story of The Temptest. Without changing the plot points, this is a story told in the changing viewpoints between Miranda and Caliban, and it's poignant as it is heartbreaking. The language is gorgeous, as is the differentiation of these two characters entirely, and how the story is woven through them. Bravi, bravi, bravissimi. ( )

A retelling from the perspective of the two titular characters. I found I didn’t like it as much as her LoTR retelling; patriarchy/colonialism has and keeps the upper hand throughout the novel, so be prepared. ( )

Short review because, as usual, I'm supposed to be doing something else. I enjoyed this book as I enjoy most retellings. The magic was well-done and I adored the descriptive writing (though not the high language, especially from the mouth of a 7-year-old). I do feel that we missed some of the most interesting experiences: Caliban's chance to swap roles with Miranda and play teacher. The characters emphasized what a major impact this time had on their relationship, but we have little idea of what it was like. I would have preferred more details here.

A good read for a lover of Shakespeare and retellings. ( )

In this haunting retelling of a classic, Jacqueline Carey imagines the events that led up to the storm that begins Shakespeare's The Tempest. Six-year-old Miranda and her father Prospero have been living on a Mediterranean island for years, but neither the reader nor Miranda know how they came to be there. Prospero, through his magical workings, has command of a number of elemental beings who perform various menial duties for them, and on one fateful day he executes a spell that brings Caliban, a wild boy also living on the island, into their household.

I do love a retelling, and Carey's deft and evocative writing boosts this one to among some of my favorites. Be forewarned that it is ultimately a sad story — there is no happy ending, and Prospero's behavior toward nearly every other character can only be described as abusive. It is beautiful, though. ( )
