A Whole New World by Liz BraswellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
An Aladdin retelling but in a Twisted Tale form?
Perfection.
But...sadly it let me down. Mostly because of the way Aladdin went when he went to the Tiger Cave, I think it's called, and he did get the genie's lamp, but he gave it to Jafar... who turned around and abused the Genie. Also in my head, I heard Robin Williams, so that's probably why I didn't like it as much as I thought. Then the way the sultan was killed and Princess Jasmine ran away so she can fight with the Street Rats was cool, and also how both Aladdin and Jasmine feel in love during this really stupid war between them and Jafar was alright in my opinion.
But the one thing that made me mad throughout the book was Jafar and all of his rules and dealings and what he did to the magic carpet. Like I knew Jafar was evil AF, but my god that's straight-up evil. When he was defeated, he told the Genie his final wish--that all magic dies with him--was pretty messed up, but either way I still enjoyed it, even though the problems that bugged me to the point that I gave it three stars.
I am gonna continue reading the Twisted Tales series, but this one just wasn't my favorite one.
