Prospero's Daughter trilogy
Lamplighter's first three published novels form the Prospero's Daughter trilogy, whose narrator Miranda is the daughter of the magician Prospero from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Set in the present day, it portrays Miranda and her siblings attempting to rescue their father from a Hell similar to Dante's Inferno. The trilogy received favorable starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, which called the third novel "a satisfyingly epic combination of mythology, theology, and Shakespeare" and "intricate, intellectual fantasy at its best". Kirkus Reviews gave the first novel a mixed review, calling the protagonists unpleasant, distant and cold,  but was more favorably disposed towards the two other novels. The series has been mentioned in an article in Shakespeare Studies as "exemplifying the lure of reimagining Shakespeare's characters and their lives". Prospero Lost (August 4, 2009):
