As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale

Product Information

So, in this retelling Belle’s mother is the sorcerer that cursed the Beast at the beginning of the story.

And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. Although it is a lot darker than the original Disney film, As Old As Time answers a lot of questions I had about the story in new and unexpected ways. 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. She also wrote A Whole New World, a twist on Aladdin, and Once Upon a Dream, a twist on Sleeping Beauty for the A Twisted Tale series. But Belle touches the Beast’s enchanted rose, intriguing images flood her mind—images of the mother she believed she would never see again.When he asks her if she will be able to change his whole kingdom and servants back too she says she only has enough magic for them or him so he must choose. Anmerken möchte ich abschließend allerdings, dass ein paar Versuche der Autorin, feministisch zu klingen, etwas schief gegangen sind – aber das sollte man bei dem Märchen vielleicht ein wenig ausklammern.

I hope they are happy because I personally did not come into this book wanting to read endless chapters about that dude. and she figured out the Beast's past and that the enchantress who cursed Prince Adam, was her own mother. Belle to me in this story came across a little haughty and you do see her learn not to judge a book by its cover. At the core the book was a retelling of a fairytale and while Braswell was using the Disney movie as a template there were plenty of jumping off points that could’ve made the story interesting.

I didn’t quite realize that this was a retelling of Disney’s version of Beauty and the Beast, and not of the original book. Si eres fan de Disney o de esta princesa en específico les recomiendo muchísimo este libro, tengo reseñas de otro dos en mi perfil.
