I really enjoyed this.  You can tell it was written by a women with the women's perspective of all these Disney princess stories in mind.  As Jasmine put it she is not a prize be wom and this alternative ending novel does not even get to that part that was in the movie.  It is all about the struggle of the dark magic and the teamwork required to take on Jafar.  There are moments where justice and values are weighed and considered.  I absolutely love the "girl boss" role that both Jasmine and Morgiana took on in this narrative.   This is less G and more PG-13 as well which brings it into a muchore realistic realm.  I will definitely be reading more of the Twisted Tales series
