Farrah Rochon leads us down the winding road of paths not taken to see how everything could have been if Tiana had chosen differently. She needs to learn acceptance of a lot of things. And she’s going to have to decide what truly matters the most to her. Also, she has to discover what price she’s willing to pay to have what she wants. It’s a lot of things being thrown at her all at once. But her decisions affect more than just herself and as she begins to see this she’ll have to make some very hard choices. Will she make the right ones in time? Good Vibes In theory, this book starts as Tiana has Dr. Facilier's amulet and before she smashes it he gives her a deal she can't ignore. Unfortunately the details of the film were ignored to "progress" the story. The side plot with Naveen is the only bright light in book. The story is all over the place. Tiana has zero of the charm, intelligence or personality that Anika Noni Rose delivered as the film counterpart. She is rude to her friends and her mother. She falls for ridiculous lies that she never should have even considered.

Braswell, Liz (September 7, 2021). What Once Was Mine: A Twisted Tale. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 9781761200205.Straight On Till Morning (Peter Pan) - What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land with Captain Hook? Calonita, Jen (October 22, 2019). Conceal, Don't Feel: A Twisted Tale. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 9781368052238. I shouldn't have raised my expectations since I generally tend to be bored with Greek Mythology but Hercules is one of my favorite Disney movies so I was really excited for the twisted tale

Lim, Elizabeth (April 7, 2020). So This is Love: A Twisted Tale. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 978-1368013826. I loved the twist, the reasons that led Tiana to strike a deal with Facilier, and how Facilier managed to screw up the terms of the contract. I loved the fact that she stayed close to the Disney story. The characters felt the same as they did in the Hercules movie, even though the story was completely different. I also loved following Meg as our protagonist. I always thought her potential was fully exploited in Hercules, so I was glad to read a story from her perspective.Soon Tiana finds herself in a new reality where all her deepest desires are realized: she finally gets her restaurant, her friends are safe and sound, and most miraculous of all, her beloved father is still alive. She's got everything she's ever wanted. . . .

It was also nice to have voodoo explained as being a religion that focuses on good energy instead of dark magic, as it is often shown in the media. A hard line was made between the dark energy that Dr. Facilier used, and voodoo, which was refreshing. I always hate when religions or cultures are misrepresented due to popular prejudice. Rochon makes sure to avoid this in her book. A graphic novel version of the 2018 book Part of Your World, adapted by Stephanie Kate Strohm, was released June 13, 2023. [18] A graphic novel version of the 2020 book Straight On Till Morning, adapted by Liz Braswell, is currently in development. Braswell, Liz (September 4, 2018). Part of Your World: A Twisted Tale. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 9781368013819. As for the story, I found it entertaining and full of adventure, while also still having a lot of heart.I really enjoyed this one. I like the Twisted Tales and how they offer a “what if…” for the story. It’s interesting to see what could have happened instead of the ending we know.

Strohm, Stephanie Kate (June 13, 2023). Part of Your World: A Twisted Tale Graphic Novel. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 978-1368064095. Braswell, Liz (April 5, 2016). Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale. Disney-Hyperion. ISBN 9781484707302.There is so much about this book that I would love to see expanded on at some point in the future. Calonita has such a fun and light way of writing that is easy to read and engage with. With so many iconic characters to play with, she managed to keep each and every one of Hercules’ characters perfectly in-character and I could hear their voices as I read.
