Atwood is a fantastic writer and it is always her characters which draw me into the world of her novels. Thought I don’t particularly like The Tempest as a play, I found Atwood was able to make it tolerable. The only reason I haven’t rated this higher is because of the pacing. The beginning was a little too slow for me, and in contrast the ending felt more rushed. I also couldn’t really connect with the main character until the end, and instead connected a lot more with the other characters and wished they had been fleshed out more
