All but alone, wild but resourceful, Mira dreams of life beyond the shores of her mystical island. Isolated by her father, a dark sorcerer bent on vengeance, she has only his servants, an air spirit and a misshapen cast-off, to share her company.

When Dante conjures a terrible storm to wash ashore his mortal enemies, Mira must choose between her loyalties to her father and what she knows is right.

Sail the skies and soar the seas surrounding this Isle of Sound and Wonder as Alyson Grauer masterfully retells William Shakespeare’s classic, The Tempest, bedecked in the trappings of Steampunk.

This book was enchanting from the moment I started reading it. Each and every character was mesmerizing as we get lost on the Island of sound and wonder. I absolutely loved the world author Alyson Grauer conjured up for us.   This book is one I can see letting my son read in just a few years. He will absolutely love the mystery adventure Alyson created.

The in-depth detail Alyson describes from start to finish was perfect.  There were many times I could picture myself right along with Mira, Ferran, Dante and all the other characters. 

My favorite character was Mira.  This poor girl has been raised on an island with an overpowering and very dangerous father.  The only friends Mira has ever has ever known are a monster who I absolutely adore and an air spirit.  That is until her father crashes a ship on their coast.

This story is filled with many is filled with many fascinating character that are all interwoven together flawlessly by the author. More than once I was surprised by her surprises.

Exploring all the wonders with Mira and deciding what is right was just what I need for a weekend escape. 

If you want a story you can get lost in this is the story for you.
