Interpretation Supposing Books Prospero in Hell (Prospero's Daughter #2)
The exciting, suspenseful story of Miranda’s search for Prospero, the fabled sorcerer of The TempestThe search of a daughter for her father is but the beginning of this robust fantasy adventure. For five hundred years since the events of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Miranda has run Prospero, Inc., protecting an unknowing world from disasters both natural and man-made. Now her father has been taken prisoner of dark spirits in a place she could only guess. Piecing together clues about her father’s whereabouts and discovering secrets of her shrouded past, she comes to an inescapable conclusion she has dreaded since Prospero was lost.
Prospero has been imprisoned in Hell, kept there by demons who wish to extract a terrible price in exchange for his freedom. As the time of reckoning for Miranda draws near, she realizes that hundreds of years of their family’s magic may not be enough to free her once-powerful father from the curse that could destroy them...and the world.
Prospero in Hell is the second novel of the Prospero's Daughter series.

The writing distracted for the first half of this book, but, just like last time, after I got into it, it went quickly and I was sad to see it end. I've been able to predict much of it, I'll be excited to see whether I'm right about the rest in the final book.While I enjoyed Prospero Lost, the first volume of Lamplighter's Prospero's Daughter trilogy, this second volume took a leap forward in many ways. Miranda, who is the eldest of Prospero's offspring, was contacted by her father at the beginning of the first book, informing her that one of his spells had gone awry, that he was accidentally trapped in Hell, and that Miranda was to gather the family and warn them of impending doom.By the end of Prospero Lost she had only found four of her eight
The wait for the second volume of Prospero's Daughter was worth it - this is a good read. The first few chapters didn't quite gel, and I found myself slogging a bit. As the book went on, and especially once the Prospero clan was all together, it became sufficiently hard to put down that I missed an appointment. The biggest frustration with the book is that, like the first volume, it doesn't conclude as much as stop - it's clearly one long story chopped into thirds, and now I'll have another wait

-Miranda, a sorceress-Ariel, "noir" private eye/cynic-Prospero, not present-disappeared and stolen away to Hell-Miranda's brothers, sprites, magic creatures and demons.Miranda finally gathers all her siblings together and through them learns of some unsettling and all-too-true aspects of her past including the truth about Ferdinand and Caliban. Parts of the story are clouded with mythical artifacts and the nuance of the Prospero Family's past is a bit confusing, but reflects the cloud of doubt
The book dragged for me in the middle and towards the end. The characters became less interesting and sympathetic in this second volume of a trilogy. The plot twists became tiring and maintaining my suspension of belief too challenging. In my case, at least, familiarity bred boredom. I doubt I'll read the final volume when it comes out.
Must better than the first book I do have my complaints. Mainly, why oh why do female characters always have to "lose their powers" in almost every comic or fantasy book I read? Why? And why does she have to lose it in such a horrible way? I mean, if you were going to strip her of her powers, there are other ways to do it.
