Gale: A Sci-fi Novella by Lyssa Chiavari
5.0
I loved this! All my knowledge of The Tempest comes from a summary, but even then it was fun to compare the slightly-changed (usually shortened) names in this story with the original ones in the play.
Gale is also just a really fun story on its own, with loveable characters, discussion about the treatment of disabled or sick people that is just way too real, a discussion of propaganda and the government essentially changing the past, and many others. The only thing that surprised me was that while this is categorised as Science Fiction, other than a couple of references to moons and spaceships it felt much more like a fantasy to me.
“Sir, I wouldn’t mind giving up some of my share to help someone who really needed it. If someone is ill, that’s not their fault.”
