oraclereadings 's review for:
A Whole New World
by Liz Braswell
This could hardly be considered a retelling or a revision. The first part of this books takes place within the exact setting from the beloved Disney animated movie, even going as far quoting from the film word for word. We start from the beginning of the book, I mean cartoon, with Aladdin stealing a loaf of bread (famous line included) and being chased throughout the market. And the movie, I mean book, takes us all the way to the scene in the Cave of Wonders.
Except. . .
Aladdin is not the one who ends up with the lamp.
Jafar is.
A Whole New World takes imagining into what would have happened if Jafar were the one to end up with the lamp instead. And it is honestly no different than movie version of Jafar. He makes his predictable wishes to become Sultan of Agrabah and the most powerful sorcerer.
While under his imprisonment, Jasmine is the one to befriend the Genie instead of Aladdin. I did enjoy the little bit of backstory that was introduced with Genie and the history of the Jinn.

✰ 3.5 ✰ I enjoyed reading it, but it didn’t have quite the impact that I thought it would.
