The writing’s excellent, the characters are complex, and the twists, while not shocking to me, were incredibly satisfying and creative. “Duckett's story is intriguing, adept, inventive and sexy.” -NPR Duckett turns this secondary character into a heroine on her own journey for truth.” - Library Journal, starred review “This luxurious tale gives Miranda a path to self-discovery, wrapped in the dark magic and manipulations on display in the original play. “ Miranda in Milan is a wondrous tale that turns Shakespeare's world sideways, to reveal everything he left out - and to show us that the greatest magic comes from claiming your freedom.” -Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky “Glorious and transformative, this may not be the continuation Shakespeare intended, but it is the one that we deserve.” -Seanan McGuire, author of Every Heart a Doorway A pleasure for any lover of romance, myth, and magic-whether or not they're fans of the Bard.” -Cherie Priest, author of Boneshaker and I Am Princess X “ Miranda in Milan is somehow both utterly charming and perfectly sinister, and altogether delightful. “Love and lust, mothers and monsters, magicians and masked balls, all delivered with Shakespearean panache.” -Nicola Griffith, author of Hild With only Dorothea, her sole companion and confidant to aid her, Miranda must cut through the mystery and find the truth about her father, her mother, and herself. And though he promised to give away his power, Milan is once again contorting around Prospero’s dark arts. Whispers cling to her like spiderwebs, whispers that carry her dead mother’s name. Instead she finds herself in Milan, in her father’s castle, surrounded by hostile servants who treat her like a ghost. Naples awaited her, and Ferdinand, and a throne. With Miranda in Milan, debut author Katharine Duckett reimagines the consequences of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, casting Miranda into a Milanese pit of vipers and building a queer love story that lifts off the page in whirlwinds of feeling.Īfter the tempest, after the reunion, after her father drowned his books, Miranda was meant to enter a brave new world.
