Welcome to Litsy!

NO I DID NOT GO ON VINTED AGAIN..... how could you think such a thing 😅

How can a book be exactly what you are hoping for (doesn't take too many liberties) & not enough (a good start to his own story, struggle, Ariel meet-cute but I just wanted more) at the same time? Loved the two different ship & pirate crews and their antics. I don't recall any they/them pronouns in the movie as are in the book but I did appreciate the lady shipmates/friends for diversity. I feel like the author sat with...

Worth a read if you like fill in story‘s that could be argued as a retelling. ghost side story of Ursula‘s was odd, but fit well with the story. I have more love for Eric now; he wants a pure love (because of curse) and real intimacy (getting to KNOW someone). Watching the two of them together filled me with joy, even if it was fleeting for his side story. part with his mother was confusing. But that‘s something not mentioned in the movie

It‘s really nice to see my favorite Disney Princess getting to know her prince. It‘s her wonder at the world that Eric falls for, how easy she is to communicate with. How it‘s the right thing to do to help a girl who can‘t speak without family anywhere nearby. Now include the sign language they come up with. Eric being cursed is new and odd, but fits pretty well actually.

Very rarely do I see Disney retellings from the princes POV, there just usually isn't much to go on. However, I liked that this one added a bit more to the story, while still going over what happened in the movie. It was really good, but I almost think it could have been done a little better. I still will recommend it, and I would probably read the book again, but I wanted just a little more from it.

I was really impressed with this retelling! I know a lot of people take issue with the Twisted Tales Disney series because it follows the movie too closely, so I was worried that this new Disney Prince series would be similar. Fortunately, this book does add a lot more to the movie. Eric gets an entire backstory which gives him much more depth.
