For fans of Twisted Tales and Villains is a brand new YA series that retells the classic Disney stories you thought you knew from the Disney Princes' perspectives.

Before Prince Eric’s mother, the Queen of Vellona, went missing two years ago, she reminded him about the details of the deadly curse that has plagued his entire life. The curse? If he were to kiss someone other than his true love, he would die. With a neighboring kingdom looking for any excuse to invade their shores, and rumors of ghost pirates lurking the seas, Eric is desperate for any information that may help him break his enchantment and bring stability to Vellona. The answers he has been searching for come to him in the form of a letter left from his mother that reveals Eric must find his true love, the one with a voice pure of heart,or kill the sea witch responsible for cursing him in the first place.

Now Eric is on a quest to find the Isle of Serein, the witch's legendary home. But after he is rescued by a mysterious young woman with a mesmerizing singing voice, Eric’s heart becomes torn. Does he enter a battle he is almost certain he cannot win or chase a love that might not even exist? And when a shipwrecked young woman with flaming red hair and a smile that could calm the seven seas enters his life, Eric may discover that true love isn’t something that can be decided by magic.

Prince of Song & Sea is the fantastic first book in a new YA fantasy series retelling Disney stories from the viewpoint of the princes. I'm a big fan of The Little Mermaid, so I was excited to read this and see things from a new perspective. Luckily, the author did not disappoint. The story was right along the same plot from the movie, but as I mentioned, it was told from Prince Eric's point of view. The author also wrote the book in the first person POV, which is my favorite. I think it allows the reader to connect with the narrator on a deeper, more personal level than any other writing style. I think the first person POV was a perfect choice for the story and I'm so glad the author chose to write it this way.

Being a fan of The Little Mermaid, I enjoyed going through the same story line as the movie. I could picture it in my mind and it was easy to lose myself in the world the author created. The symmetry between everything - from the plot to the characters and setting, was very well done. It was actually much better than I had expected, to be honest. I'll definitely be looking out for the next book in the series and I hope it's just as good as this one. I recommend this book to fans of YA fiction, fantasy, retellings, and Disney stories.
