Prince of Song & Sea
Prince of Song & Sea | Linsey Miller
6 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
For fans of Twisted Tales and Villains is a brand new YA series that retells the classic Disney stories you thought you knew from the Disney Princes' perspectives. Before Prince Eric's mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse? If he were to kiss someone other than his true love, he would die. With a neighboring kingdom looking for any excuse to invade their shores, and rumors of ghost pirates lurking the seas, Eric is desperate for any information that may help him break his enchantment and bring stability to Vellona. The answers he has been searching for come to him in the form of a letter left from his mother that reveals Eric must find his true love, the one with a voice pure of heart, or kill the sea witch responsible for cursing him in the first place. Now Eric is on a quest to find the Isle of Serein, the witch's legendary home. But after he is rescued by a mysterious young woman with a mesmerizing singing voice, Eric's heart becomes torn. Does he enter a battle he is almost certain he cannot win or chase a love that might not even exist? And when a shipwrecked young woman with flaming red hair and a smile that could calm the seven seas enters his life, Eric may discover that true love isn't something that can be decided by magic.

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...

MaggieCarr ... her hand on the pause button while writing, weaving in and parallel to the animated classic then giving an interwoven second plot with Eric's internal voice and motivation before recreating direct movie scenes again. Ow well, now wait for the next prince. 1y

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.
