Bright Ruined Things by Samantha Cohoe

4.0

The Tempest meets The Great Gatsby on the private island of Lord Proper and his family. Eighteen-year-old Mae has lived all her life in the mansion of the magician Lord Prosper and has complicated relationship with his grandchildren. Romance and tests of friendship emerge amid themes of free will, colonization, power, and self-knowledge. This struggle over power is set in a sparkling Roaring Twenties aesthetic. A fun read!
