Hooray! I did it. This was a lot of fun.
Set in Milan after the end of Shakespeare's The Tempest. Reads like YA fan fiction. This book tries to right the sexism and racism in the play. Easy fast read. Written by an LGBTQ+ author from East Tennessee. I won this book from Tor.com. I wish that I had found it a better read because on paper it should be perfect for me...E. Tennessee queer writer writing about Shakespeare characters. 2 🌟
I am pretty sure this is my win from @24in48 as I know it‘s not a goodreads win and it‘s not an arc. There was no note or shipping receipt.
It says it‘s a reimagining of the Tempest‘s consequences. It also came with two Tor buttons.
Book hangover is REAL, folks. I don‘t read many romances, and after just finishing a book* with lush prose and passion so hot the pages singed my fingers, Miranda in Milan, a sequel to Shakespeare‘s The Tempest, just couldn‘t compare.
The insta-love between Miranda and her magical maid, the flat prose, and - oof - a solid almost 50-page block of exposition near the end, were balanced somewhat by some truly lovely sentiments about Caliban.
#Starting this continuation of The Tempest which will wrap up my #SummerOfShort2
This is amazing and short enough you can read it in one sitting - I did! It looks at what I think the unavoidable questions one‘s left with after reading the Tempest - is Caliban really so monstrous? How will a girl raised on an island be Princess of Naples? Masterfully done with so much intrigue!
Lesbians and Shakespeare. YES! 😍📚💕
I don‘t know why, but for the rest of the week, I‘m only going to read retellings (I really don‘t know why, that‘s just how this pile of library holds worked out. But I‘m excited). This sequel to Shakespeare‘s “The Tempest” is a great place to start!
I love this cover! It‘s a fantasy that picks up after Shakespeare‘s The Tempest, which I suppose I will have to read now. Royal intrigue, magic, maybe a queer love story...
