Despite the twist of Ana and Elsa needing to be separated after Elsa hit her with her magic by accident and a few other additions and changes. Honestly the story stayed pretty true to the movie, so this one wasn't as good as the others in the series. So as a twisted tale I would have to say this one is my least favorite. Still a great story and written very well, but not enough changed to consider it much of a different story.
I really enjoy this twisted tales series. I think because it expounds so much into the personal lives of the characters that I grew up with.
With this story not only do you get to learn more about Snow White and the real meaning behind "true loves first kiss". But you get to learn about Snow's father and mother. But more importantly you learn the story behind the evil queen and her story. At times you feel very sorry for her, but then at other times you grit your teeth and think "well that could have been handled better."
It has been so fun to read these and I am quite enjoying them. Now onto the next. 😁
The Little Mermaid was one of my all time favorites as a kid. So much so that I actually did a school report surrounding it. So I was a little excited but leery when it was time to start this book. It did NOT disappoint. This book kept me "at the edge of my seat" till the very end. I loved all the character developments and the maturity of Ariel and lessons learned. Also to have an idea of what Ursula would do as a human of royal rank and to see just how evil she was...just amazing. Seriously loved this book.
I am in love with the Twisted Tale series. I especially loved this one, the beginning is similar to the Disney movie so it's like greeting a childhood friend that you haven't seen in awhile. But then it goes off into a whole new story but continues to keep little sayings or flashbacks to bring the movie back in. I love the way Elizabeth builds upon the character of Mulan and Captain Lee Shang. I enjoyed learning about the Captain's backstory and family. Overall a really great book and I am excited to move onto the next in the series.
I am seriously in love with these Twisted Tales series. Once again this is familiar enough to bring back childhood memories of a beloved Disney movie. But completely and utterly different. I love how Liz Braswell delved deeper into the story of Belle's mother and father and how it goes past the whole "Stockholm Syndrome" joke. A wonderful read that I can definitely see myself picking up again sometime in the future.
This was my textbook for the Japanese art class this semester. I don't often do reviews for my textbook's but that's usually because my classes doesn't require us to read the whole textbook. But this class was very different. It was a very interesting class and I really enjoyed the reading. It's a class I am very glad I took, however I don't see myself pursuing Art History in Japanese art in the future. But I learned a lot and I am glad I took this class.
This book was so much fun an such a cute read. It made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Usually books like this I have a hard time separating from the movies to get into the actual book. But I was able to get into the book and "see" the chocolate factory in my minds eye. I enjoyed this book so much I told my husband, kids and mother that this is a must read.
Not only do I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read but this should be on everyone's Must Read!!
