Miranda and Caliban by Jacqueline Carey
5.0
Author's prose is romantic, heartbreaking, and uniquely detailed/expressive. Of course, it's JC.
I love when authors had additional POVs to existing characters (whether their own OCs, or others in literature), so the way she adds backstory between Miranda and Caliban actually makes me appreciate the Tempest more (wasn't my favorite play before, lol).
The relationship btwn the 2 is so pure, and JC manages to express their deep care and connection in a way that goes beyond conventional notions of "romantic love". Re-readable just for these 2 cinnamon rolls, I just wanna give them a hug.
And dam, Prospero is so hateable.
