Liz Braswell wrote 7 of the 14 books in the series – A Whole New World, Once Upon A Dream, As Old As Time, Part Of Your World, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, and What Once Was Mine. She really shines here, bringing this story and these characters to life in a whole new ((moon))light!!Ī hearty thank you to the publisher, Disney Books and Disney Audio, for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.Each book takes a classic Disney story and gives it some alternative plot points, often with a darker theme than the original. The books are written by multiple authors. I have never jived with Braswell’s writing as much as I did with this one. If you love the story of Rapunzel, the cute and quirky characters within it, or you think that the movie Tangled is a true gem to be watched on repeat because of its glorious good humor, you absolutely have to get your hands on this book! Y’all, this book is an absolute blast to read. She sets out on an adventure of epic proportions with two theives, Flynn and Gina, on a search for her happily ever after. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but the pull of seeing the floating lights on her birthday is just too strong. Rapunzel dutifully stays put for 18-years.
In order to keep everyone safe, the Queen and King make the heartbreaking decision to have Rapunzel locked away in a Tower, far from the kingdom proper, and watched over by a powerful goodwife, Mother Gothel. Worried about the life of their ailing Queen, pregnant with her first child, the citizens of Corona search for the infamous Sundrop flower to cure her, but end up picking a Moondrop flower accidentally.īecause of this one tiny error, the baby girl, Rapunzel, has silver hair, the color of the moon, dangerous to the touch. In this volume, Liz Braswell twists the tale of Rapunzel, or the movie, Tangled, if you prefer to look at it that way. Each one tackles a different Disney story, twisting one major plot point and then examining what would have happened because of that twist. If you are unfamiliar with this fantastic series, you can read these books in any order.
So far, I have read 10 out of the 12 books and definitely have plans to read them all! What Once Was Mine is the 12th-installment in Disney’s long-running Twisted Tales series.
