Lim did brilliantly with Mulan in Reflection, and So This Is Love is another example of how well she knows and how much she loves Disney.Ĭinderella feels very much like the character we know from the original story, but like in many of these tales she has that little bit more agency. And these are characters many people love, which means the expectations are high. After all, they’re taking the core elements of whatever character it is, and putting them in a new situation. When this series works well, it’s clear the author knows these characters inside and out. But she’s still determined to help her fairy godmother, and in doing so she unravels a conspiracy that threatens everything. Unable to remain with her step-mother, Cinderella flees, and ends up working in – of all places – the castle.īut meeting the prince isn’t as easy as it seems, and Cinderella soon decides to try and make a life for herself with her new job and new friends. In So This is Love, Cinderella is not able to try on the glass slipper, and the duke rides away from her home without even knowing she’s there.

It’s easy to feel like characters are in love in one of her books, even while other forces keep them apart. The thing is, Lim is excellent at writing couples. Which I’m pretty sure is what I said about Straight on ‘Till Morning too, but Elizabeth Lim is such a fantastic writer, it’s hard not to fall in love with her books. So far my favourite is Reflection, but I think this takes the second top spot. And the next cover has just been revealed – Unbirthday, an Alice in Wonderland tale. I really hope these books keep coming, because I will definitely keep reading. Yep, it’s another Twisted Tales book, so far one of my favourite ever series.

Elizabeth lim so this is love
