Miranda and Caliban Review: I love this fantastic retelling of The Tempest - I love this fantastic retelling of The Tempest. The author has an amazing way of bringing very familiar Shakespeare characters and their story alive in a very different yet profound, and wonderful way. The heart of this retelling is a beautiful yet forbidden love story. Ariel is not the fun loving and gentle spirit that he is thought to be. He is mercurial, mean, and nasty. He only does Prospero's bidding because he owes Prospero a very large favor. All of the other dirty things he does is because he is just a evil and he likes making trouble for Caliban and Miranda. Caliban is not as savage, wild, inhuman, unintelligent, and unfeeling as many may think. You find yourself cheering for Caliban, you want him to have something, anything good to happen for him. Miranda, Miranda is the saddest, most heartbreaking and miserable character in this story. She is isolated for years by herself until her "Papa" Prospero calls forth Caliban from the other side of the isle She is physically, emotionally and mentally abused by her "Papa" which really sticks out in this retelling. Your heart breaks for her many times over. Prospero has complete and ultimate control over Miranda, Caliban, Ariel and the other Elementals on the isle. He is abusive, manipulative, cruel, hateful and spiteful. For all of you Shakespeare lovers out there who adore The Tempest, this book is for you. I truly enjoyed reading this retelling of one of my all time favorite plays. Review: I didn't expect to like it - This is not the kind of book I usually read, but I was pleasantly surprised by this retelling of The Tempest. The descriptions are vivid and unforgettable. It is movie ready. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,589,170 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,609 in Historical Fantasy (Books) #12,265 in Sword & Sorcery Fantasy (Books) #13,978 in Romantic Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (251) | | Dimensions | 6.41 x 1.22 x 9.59 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0765386798 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0765386793 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | February 14, 2017 | | Publisher | Tor Books | ## Images ![Miranda and Caliban - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aukSpNSFS.jpg) ![Miranda and Caliban - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41x4iySacRL.jpg) ![Miranda and Caliban - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9115Wvhbx5S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this fantastic retelling of The Tempest *by S***R on May 18, 2017* I love this fantastic retelling of The Tempest.

The descriptions are vivid and unforgettable. It is movie ready. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am not at all surprised that I enjoyed this book *by M***K on April 27, 2017* I am not at all surprised that I enjoyed this book. I have always liked Jacqueline Carey's writing and this was just another one to add to the list. The prose is very poetic and beautiful and both Miranda and Caliban had their own distinctive voices. While Jacqueline Carey definitely made these characters something of her own I do not think she did the Bard any disrespect in doing so. I found myself sharing much of the emotions of Miranda and Caliban in this book. Caliban especially I was rooting for. In this book he is a tragic but kindly man who has been dealt a cruel hand at every moment. And in many ways meeting Miranda was just another one of those cruelties. This book is not a happy one so if you are looking for a joyful read this one might not be for you. But if you are looking for something beautiful and tragic then I definitely would say check this one out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/46220261-miranda-and-caliban](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/46220261-miranda-and-caliban) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
