There wasn’t enough Flounder for my liking but a lot of the story takes place above ground so I can’t really complain- maybe he needs his own tale? The book includes all of your favourite characters from the classic 1989 movie: Scuttle, Sebastian, Flounder and even Grimsby and Carlotta! Liz Braswell does such a good job in rejuvenating these characters and reminding us why we loved them in the first place. NB: Just for clarification this isn’t really a spoiler as you find this out on page 20- please don’t send in complaints. Oh yeah! Spoiler! Ursula still has Triton in her slimy grasp as well. Conversely Ariel is Queen of the Sea, ruling Atlantica in her father’s absence. In this twisted tale Ursula succeeded in tricking Eric into marrying Vanessa she now rules the Kingdom, with Eric remaining under Ursula’s spell and pretty much clueless to his wife’s evil tendencies. Part of Your World is based five years after Ursula defeats Ariel, yes you heard me right! The whole miraculous, shiny magic being released from the shell, the little mermaid regaining her voice, the whole harpoon, giant octopus, child scarring scene…never happened! Therefore, it only seemed right that it was my first review. I LOVE the twisted tales’ series of books but so far, I think Part of Your World may be my favourite.
