Monstrous Little Voices

Being honest, I've only read two Shakespeare plays. (Well, I listened to Julius Caesar.) The Tempest was the first one, mostly because I watched a tv show where these high school students were putting on the play and I was kind of infatuated by Ariel. (Who was also the scene stealer in the play, for me.) So, besides my general fascination with The Tempest, I love and adore Foz Meadows' writing. So I knew I'd read this book eventually and probably none of the others in the series. And this book is kind of totally awesome. I had to be in the right mindset to read it because the first two times I tried I wound up putting it down after a handful of pages, but it's a lovely story. (With feminism and two characters that are genderqueer and I personally would call both genderfluid, specifically.) I always thought Miranda was a limp dishrag, personally, and I adore this depiction of her. (Ferdinand is still as unpleasant as I always thought he was.) (As an added bonus, Puck and the king and queen of the fairies from A Midsummer Night's Dream show up and, btw, I have always found Puck so fun. This version is a little...nicer than most I've run across.)
