5/19/2023 0 Comments Unbirthday by Liz BraswellLike Wendy in the previous Twisted Tale, Alice doesn’t want to follow the same path as the other young women. This book takes place a while after the original story, and we meet Alice as an eighteen-year-old, a young woman who prefers her camera and eccentric, unmarried aunt to spending an afternoon with her sister, her sister’s young man and his friend. Unbirthday is the tenth and latest instalment in the series, asking the question what if Wonderland was in danger, and Alice was very, very late? As well as giving us a different view of a beloved characters, Braswell returns to some of the same themes she touched on in Straight on ‘Till Morning. There are currently three authors involved in the series, and though my favourite ones are usually by Elizabeth Lim, Liz Braswell’s stories are getting stronger and stronger with each new one. This series takes a key moment in a Disney film and twists it just slightly, sometimes changing the ending of the story, altering it completely, or creating a tale that fits neatly into the original story. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know I absolutely adore the Twisted Tales series from Disney.
