Prince of Song & Sea

Suggestion de cadeau

Once again....Disney Books has done it again! A 5 Star read and from a new author this time...and A new series coming from the Prince's (of our favorite Disney tales) POV. Loved this one!!What would we have done if Ariel had never rescued Prince Eric? What if he had never met her or kissed her in that little row boat?So, with the new remake of 'The Little Mermaid' coming out in May.....you KNOW i HAD to read this as soon as possible. Well, i read it in less than 2 days actually. With this being the 1st in the new Prince Novels by Disney Books, they could not have launched this new series with a better Prince than Prince Eric. All the classic (from the animated film that is....) characters are here too; Grimsby, King Triton, as well as Flounder and Sebastian. Though they do not talk in this book. lol.Prince Eric has lost his parents and is being raised by Sir Grimsby. When their family boat crashes in a violent storm and all are thrown off into the cold waters to basically drown, Eric, his dog Max and Grimsby survive. However Eric was rescued by someone that he could not really see their face, but he could see 'their bright red hair, and hear their incredible voice'. Who was this? Well, we all know that this is Ariel. What goes on for the rest of the book is ventured upon with new characters that are Eric's friends and assistants that he has had forever. Then Vanessa comes into the picture. he meets her as she is walking along the beach edge one night.....she is beautifully dark haired and tells him a story that he is enthralled in. Who is this mysterious woman? Is she the one that is being called his One True Love? Will she break the death curse that is set upon Eric? You will find out in this beautifully told retelling of Hans Christian Andersons beloved classic; The Little Mermaid. See you at the movies on May 16th! Cannot wait!5 🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼🧜🏼

Arrived on time

I like that in this book Eric gets his own curse, his own adventure and his own chance to be a hero in his own story. And that new curse and mystery doesn't interfere with the original Disney tale at all! I also really liked the new cast of characters that was introduced in this book. I also quite like that the idea of mermaids existing is introduced way before the reveal that Ariel is one. It makes his reaction that it doesn't matter and that he still loves her even more realistic and believable. In a way I also love how in this tale the prince isn't just a dumb idiot who believes that Vanessa is the girl saving him from the sea just because of a voice.

Ich liebe die Disney-Filme, ich lese auch die Villains- und Twisted Tales-Reihen und Amazon zeigte mir dieses Buch an. Klang interessant. Gekauft. Was soll ich sagen? Angefangen und durch.Schade, dass es noch keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt, andererseits hoffentlich sind gewisse Sprachfehler (ja, die merkt man auch als Nicht-Englischmuttersprachler, der bisschen mehr kann als Schulenglisch) dann nicht falsch übersetzt.Eric ist mir als Prinz bisher eher egal gewesen (vor allem da ich die Originalgeschichte gelesen hab bevor ich den Disney-Film gesehen habe), mit der Story mag ich ihn jetzt ein bisschen mehr :D Bin gespannt, ob es bei dem einen Buch bleiben wird oder mehr rauskommen - und welche.
