dark medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Wow, that was a lot more violent than I was expecting.

Like, I get it: Jafar was never going to be a kind and just ruler, but to just flat out push the Sultan off a balcony to his death? Stone cold. Straight up murdered beloved character The Magic Carpet. There was a distinct lack of Iago (cuz he was also murdered, but off screen).

Some pretty gore-y descriptions in there, too.

I didn't care for the Genie's back story. And I don't know if it was just the audiobook narrator or what, but he did not have the same charm as the OG (Original Genie).

I've only read 2 of the Twisted Tales so far but I think this is probably one of the weaker ones.

Era la princesa real. Tenía que comenzar a actuar como tal. Debía dejar de hablar sobre estar atrapada y ser un juguete en manos de los hombres. Tenía que comenzar a actuar.
Tenía que empezar a ser la heroína

Honestamente tenía demasiadas expectativas sobre este libro, siempre me han gustado los retelling y siempre he amado Aladdin.

Pero este libro deja demasiado que desear, si quieres volver a enamorarte de los personas de Aladdin, mejor mira la película, el live action incluso. Canta Un mundo ideal un rato.

La cosa con este libro es que una MUY buena idea con una trama poco desarrollada, el primer 30% del libro es una COPIA exacta de la película animada, incluso las mismas frases y escenas, solo faltó poner ahí la música. Y después con el giro inesperado algunas cosas pasan demasiado rápido, no se la da profundidad a los personajes, ni a los nuevos, ni a los conocidos. Y de pronto, ¿Zombies? Bueno eso no estuvo tan mal.

Pero fue un buen libro para pasar el rato, su narración es sencilla y en cierta forma es muy adictivo. Ame a la pandilla de "ratas callejeras" son lo mejor del libro.
