Prince of Song & Sea

Product Information

This book is also inclusive without feeling forced. One character, Gabriella, is a lesbian, while another character, Sauer, uses they/them pronouns. Both Gabriella’s sexuality and Sauer’s pronouns are no big deal. It’s treated so normally that it actually took me a while to notice Sauer’s pronouns.

For example, it explains why Ariel doesn’t write what she wants to say and why Ariel didn’t read her contract with Ursula. Although Eric does not appear in Sofia the First, he was mentioned once by Ariel when she told Sofia that Eric needed Ariel's help when his ship sunk.

He can ride horses and command the reigns of a carriage controlled by his horse with relative ease. True YA, but will probably appeal to New Adults who are now Disney Adults as Xennials were 100% the target audience for Little Mermaid when it first came out.Beauty and the Beast: Belle • Beast • Lumiere • Cogsworth • Mrs. Potts • Chip • Maurice • Philippe • Gaston • LeFou Sleeping Beauty: Aurora • Phillip • Maleficent • Flora • Fauna • Merryweather • Diablo • Samson • King Stefan • Goon • Owl • Rabbit We learn about Eric's friends, his mother's disappearance, and the issues that plague the surrounding kingdoms.

More than just The Little Mermaidfrom a different point of view, Prince of Song & Seaadds its own twist to Prince Eric’s story through a curse that was placed on him as a child. His mother, Queen Eleanora, upset an evil witch when he was born. In retaliation, she cursed baby Eric with the threat of death if he ever kisses anyone other than his true love. With his mother no longer beside him and a fast approaching coronation, Eric is under pressure to find a bride to secure the future of his kingdom Vellona, but a wedding day kiss could prove fatal if he doesn’t find someone who matches the witch’s description – a girl with a voice as pure as her heart.Main Street Electrical Parade: Electrical Parade Elliott • Electrical Parade Minnie • Electrical Parade Tinker Bell • Electrical Parade Cheshire Cat • Electrical Parade Blue Fairy Prince Eric speaks the first non-musical line of The Little Mermaid is "Isn't this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face!"

Like I said, this was mostly nothing new but that doesn't mean it wasn't satisfying as a read/retelling. I actually quite enjoyed everything and I'm only putting it at 4 stars because it follows SO closely to the movie that it didn't feel like it was very original a few times. The new twists and characters we meet make this worth reading though. I actually wish they'd pushed those into the movie because I loved seeing Eric like this. Frozen: Elsa • Anna • Olaf • Sven • Kristoff • Marshmallow • Grand Pabbie • The Fire Spirit • Elsa the Snow Queen • Queen Anna • Diamond Elsa • Young Anna • Citrine Anna • Opal Olaf I will say though, as a Little Mermaid fan, NONE of these people show up ANYWHERE in the animated film. My appreciation for the diversity outweighs this though, but pause any frame in the movie and you can clearly see there are no characters of color either on the ship's crew -- or anyone who looks anything like a pirate -- or at the wedding. So again, trying to force this in didn't quite work for me, although I fully recognize that's a superficial level/quibble.]The Little Mermaid: Ariel • Flounder • Sebastian • Ursula • King Triton • Prince Eric • Wedding Ariel • Vanessa • Flotsam • Amethyst Ursula • Ruby Ariel
