#Liz braswell a twisted tale series order movie#
Answers that make so much sense, it’s a wonder that backstory provided by the live-action movie didn’t match up. Well, I’m delighted to report that this book holds the answers we’ve been longing for. Who was Belle’s mother? Why did everyone in the village have no idea a huge castle full of enchanted crockery was just sitting there, a few miles out? Wasn’t there a huge age difference between Belle and the Beast? Did the Beast actually age at all throughout his time being cursed? Where were the Beast’s parents through all this? Who could ever learn to love a beast? The thing about Beauty and the Beast is, that love it or hate it, you can’t deny it’s full of gaping plot holes. “It matters because I’m trapped here with you, because of whatever happened ten years ago, and, oh, yes, it turns out the Enchantress was my mother !”
Read on for my full review of the novel, which started out new, and then got a bit alarming. For reviewing purposes, I will be reading the full series in chronological order of publication, and I will be completely honest and spoiler-free in letting you know what I thought!įar off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise! As Old as Time by Liz Braswell explores what would have happened in the tale of Beauty and the Beast had it been Belle’s own mother who cursed the castle. Each of the novels is stand-alone, meaning you can read whichever stories intrigue you the most in whichever order you feel like. At the time of writing, the series consists of five titles published over the past four years, with the sixth newly released this April 2019. As Old as Time is the third book in the Twisted Tales series.
