Part of your world (#5 Twisted Tales) by Liz Braswell -- Restarting June 20th 2024

[Saar The Book owl]

What if Ariel had never defeated Ursula?

Five years after the (twisted) events of the film, Ariel is now the queen of Atlantica, and Ursula is running Eric's kingdom on land. But when the sea witch threatens Atlantica once more, Ariel finds herself returning to a world (and a prince) she thought she'd left behind forever.

30% (view spoiler)[ Didn't she just tell herself not to smash the nautilus bc Ursula would know? But then she smashed it anyway *squinty eyes* okay then (hide spoiler)]

Haha I was thinking the same thing

[Aly]

30% (view spoiler)[ Well, getting her voice back was pretty easy. I wonder if stopping Ursula will be easy too?

The seagull is funny, but I don't know that I love the author using her to point out flaws and stuff from the movie. It takes me out of the story (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

I'm still waiting to get this one sent to me, but I'll be joining as soon as I have it!

[Dr. Andy]

55% (view spoiler)[ This book is pretty slow but I am fascinated by the way the story has been changed. I hope Eric finds Triton soon. (hide spoiler)]

awesome

[Dr. Andy]

70% (view spoiler)[ I like how when Eric looks at Belladonna, Mandrake and whatever the other plant was first he's like omg witches garden! Like bitchhhhh those are literally poisonous! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

74% (view spoiler)[ Wow Eric is going to take down Ursula with the patriarchy. Ridiculous. Currently rolling my eyes (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Andy, are we reading this in CC too?

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she told Eric she came for her dad so he doesn't think she came for him. I mean, I know she likes him still but he should know what's up. (hide spoiler)]

I like the change more this time than the Frozen book.

[Aly]

Andy wrote: "74% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, I did not like that. What a hero you are Eric ugh

[Aly]

75% (view spoiler)[ Ursula realizes how awful humans are, treating women as property and lesser. Maybe she should go back to the sea where she's a badass? (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Aly wrote: "Andy, are we reading this in CC too?"

Yes! We just have a series thread over there!

[Dr. Andy]

Aly wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

I loved that part. Like boi byeeeee

[Dr. Andy]

Aly wrote: "75% [spoilers removed]"

Right!!!

[Dr. Andy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This was all right. I liked that Adina (sp?) stepped up a bit in the end. And that Ariel is going to go exploring and whatnot. I'm glad her happiness wasn't completely tied to Eric. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Andy wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Same! (view spoiler)[ I'm really glad she got to do her own thing too (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ It was nice that Ariel gets to meet other water species and travel since she didn't like ruling. Plus she has like 7 sisters and they should be able to step up and not be so spoiled.

This was okay but not my favorite. Eric was kind of dumb and parts of it seemed to happen too easily (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]..."

I think my fave part is that both Ariel and Eric are a couple years older

[Katrina G]

So the version I have doesn't give me any page numbers or percentage, so I hope you'll bear with me as I'm stuck having to count the chapter headers to post my comments :-/

[Katrina G]

Chapter 3 - La Sirenetta
(view spoiler)[ So. This is probably the most bizarre start I've ever read for a twisted tale lol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Ahhhhh! This version I have is so unreadable with all the formatting issues. I'll have to come back to this at another time

[Katrina G]

Okay. got a new version, so let's try this again lol

[Katrina G]

Andy wrote: "30% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah that was kind of silly (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Aly wrote: "30% ."

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I'm not a fan of the new seagull character at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 17 - Ursula
(view spoiler)[ Ursula calling Ariel a hussy amuses me much more than I think it should lol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 26 - Ariel

(view spoiler)[ I'm glad Ariel is getting help, but I've grown bored waiting for her and Eric to meet again (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 28 - Eric

(view spoiler)[ Ugh Eric is kind of an idiot and I kind of hate it (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Andy wrote: "55% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I think this is one of the slowest moving stories of the series (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Andy wrote: "74% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeaaaah. Not a huge fan of all of that (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Aly wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I didn't like how it seemed as if he was disappointed about her intentions. (hide spoiler)]

Starting!
(view spoiler)[Gonna be honest, a bit scared for this one since I haven’t read anything by this author and my Goodreads friends didn’t seem to enjoy this one much. But I love The Little Mermaid and this plot sounds cool, so I have high hopes still! (hide spoiler)]
