Part of Your World by Liz Braswell

-

 What if Ariel had never defeated Ursula?

 Five years after the events of the Little Mermaid, Ariel receives word that King Triton might still be alive. She jumps at the chance to finally right the wrongs of her past. She wasn't expecting Trulia to be so different though. Prince Eric is just waking up from the curse placed upon his kingdom. Together, he and Ariel discover that Ursula has much more sinister things in store for the small oceanside kingdom of Trulia.

This was such a good book! The pacing could feel so slow at times, but the story kept moving. I loved the story. The Twisted Tales series is so much fun to read. I love these alternate endings to Disney tales.

Reading Part of Your World made me want to go back and watch the movie. I've had the song "Part of Your World" stuck in my head for days! Ariel was always my favorite princess when I was younger so I loved getting to go back and revisit her tale.

Liz Braswell's version of Ariel and Eric were so much cooler than they were in the Disney movie. Ariel is such a badass! There were also some parts where Eric wasn't the dumb prince he was in the movie. Sadly by the end, he was acting a little dopey again. I loved both of these characters, but their romance in this story just didn't connect with me.

The last chapter was a little disappointing and unneeded. It was a chapter about Vereet who was a minor character in the book. Compared to the previous chapter which was an adorable moment between Ariel and Eric, it was a little slow. I would have loved the ending so much more if it wasn't about Vereet. If her chapter was taken out, I think the end of the book would have been so much better!

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted.

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
