I didn’t find Liz Braswell’s writing enjoyable. What a disappointment and missed opportunity! The concept of this new Disney series is to put a twist on known Disney stories, which sound great, but the result was not good.įirst off, the first 25% of the book is the Disney animated movie, verbatim! So, as soon as I was done with Heir of Fire, I dove into this… I have always loved Aladdin, so I was expecting to love this book… I didn’t! My excitement grew when I started to roam around Netgalley and it was there, I requested it, even though my hopes were not high (I had just joined), but to my surprised this was my firs approved request and within 2 days I had a book I actually really wanted. This book had me really excited! I found out about when I was looking into fairytales retellings for a Top Ten Tuesday post a couple of weeks ago, I immediately marked it as “to Read”.
I received an eArc from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again. What happens next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. When Jafar steals the Genie’s lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. What if Aladdin had never found the lamp? This first book in the A Twisted Tale line will explore a dark and daring version of Disney’s Aladdin. Nº 33 on My 2015 Reading Challenge – A book from that reminds you of your childhood <<<<<
