As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale

Product Information

Just the Beast, with only the hope of finding enough magical beings in the world to reverse the curse. Overall, I thought this was a wonderful re-imagination of a classic fairy tale and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Yet again this twisted tale is 30% "we're just going to quote the movie lol" and then it goes into the twist, which felt minor this time? Even though it follows the storyline to the tee, this has a backstory of Belle’s mother which adds a layer of dimension to the Beauty and the Beast retelling.

En este caso nos encontramos con la historia de Bella y nos muestran todo lo que a la película le hizo falta. Low key still confused as to why people didn't like the second one about Aurora because I actually really liked that one). There was a mention in the book where the Beast said that he was a child when he was cursed and “what could I have done? The story starts out with the reader following the story of Maurice and Rosalind (Belle’s mother) as they settle down to raise a family. It’s not like it’s even explained that well in the alternating chapters where I’m supposed to ship Enchantress/Maurice.

The Disney’s Twisted Tales series is put out by Disney’s publishing company Disney Publishing Worldwide which is a member of Hachette Books which was previously Hyperion Books. The book feels like a Disney film when you read it (maybe only die hard Disney fans will understand this , but it feels like it contains Disney magic. I think if it had been another tale I might not have appreciated this repetition quite so much, but as both Disney adaptations of this story are so beloved to me I really liked hearing the tale again, here. I feel like the first chunk of the book was written just in case someone didn't know the story or the book.

Until that point, I had seen milquetoast, passive, stupid little princesses go completely mushy for nondescript, interchangeable princes. g. Hunted by Meagan Spooner, or Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust), but for this series, the point is to have the original story with one twist that alters the outcome. For example, we don't get a be our guest scene, but we do get a here's some food and wine and no we are not talking to you about anything. Genauso wie die Erzählweise: Als Leserin habe ich Gegenwart und Vergangenheit kennengelernt, jeweils aus unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen, was die Geschichte meiner Meinung nach umso einnehmender werden ließ.There is a plague and a fairly harsh witch hunt, for lack of a better term, that all ultimately lead to the Beast's curse. La trama se tuerce de forma inesperada y no te esperas todo lo que ocurre después y la manera en que finaliza la vida de sus personajes principales y secundarios. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope- for who could ever leave to love a beast? Because books can dig deeper on characterization than film, you really get to know this book's version of Beast far better than the film version.

As Old as Time is the third book in the hit YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. The plot gradually unfolds and keeps readers guessing until the very end of the novel, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. The ending leaves things on a totally different note than the Disney movie and I wonder how much better the movie would have been if it changed things to what Braswell did. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making. That being said the Disney’s Twisted Tales series is based on classic Disney films, but gives them some sort of twist.

It was brilliant and creative and, if it was unintentional, is the biggest coincidence I've ever seen. His fur reeks, and while he may be able to take on a pack of wolves, a couple lunatic asylum employees are too difficult for him. Finally she caved into fate and wrote Snow and Rx under the name Tracy Lynn, followed by The Nine Lives of Chloe King series under her real name, because by then the assassins hunting her were all dead. Catch me literally repeating my rant from the last Twisted Tale book I read because they are all the same and I don't like them in the same way. I went looking for the other "Twisted Tales" but they are retellings of Snow White, Mulan, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, etc.
