Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell
Just not in the right head space will pick up at a later time.
I don't understand why the tv series was discontinued after one season, unless it was because too much was changed from the book. It's got some fun Egyptology and kept me interested throughout.
Three stars for the idea. The execution was just meh.
I was so excited when I discovered the Twisted Tales, but after reading the Belle one and then this, I think I’m done with the series. They just seem to drag. I so appreciate the creativity of a “what if” alternate plot line to a classic tale, but these are weighed down too much.

3.5*
Imagine the Disney screenplay you grew up with and could recite word for word… rewritten with a Tim Burton-esque dark edge. That’s this Twisted Tale in a nutshell.
I love a good reimagining of a familiar story, and I grew up on Disney Renaissance, so I was excited to discover this series, starting with this book. I appreciate that the premise is stated right on the cover; this left me able to focus on the plot instead of over-analyzing details to discover the main twist from the original story. The inclusion of some exact details and dialogue from the animated film was at times comforting in its familiarity, but other times felt a bit jolting because this is such a different story. (Like two sets of characters in parallel universes having the exact same conversation.)
I didn’t realize how dark this retelling was going to get. Be aware that it’s definitely not intended for story time with young children. It is quite well written and cleverly thought out, though, and I look forward to reading others from this series.… (more)
