Publisher's summary

What if Belle's mother cursed the Beast? As Old as Time is the third book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.

When Belle touches the Beast's enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle's mind - memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making.

Worth every minute!

I never thought I could love something more than the original and this by far was amazing and I hope it will be turned into a movie!

absolutely fantastical book

this was incredible. I found myself listening at every opportunity. the "grown up" version of a fairytale not unlike wicked (though maybe just a bit lighter hearted) with a great message. I fully intend on listening to every one of this series !!

The other side

Loved this book and now want to explore other books in this series. Seeing the story from the princess view was truly enjoyable.

Possibly the best B&B retelling I've ever read

I'm an avid reader of fairy tale retellings...a bit of a connoisseur. I've been making my way through this series and found the first two books a solid B+. But my word is this book unexpectedly excellent. I'm going to buy multiple hard copies for myself and friends because it's seriously that good.

There are so many plot twists that change how the characters develop, sometimes in pretty dramatic ways. I was on the edge of my seat by the second half. Considering that it's a Disney licensed YA novel, I'm surprised the author was allowed to be so wildly creative with the plot.

I also appreciated some of the small details the author included to show she had an understanding of the story's historical context. It's still a fantasy story, but the author makes an attempt to go beyond the movie's flimsy "French countryside " setting, while not making historical accuracy a focus.

Didn’t expect to like this so much

This story really surprised me. I really really enjoyed this. It was a beautiful mix of the cartoon story, the live action story and then the twisted tale story. It was a slow start but it very quickly wrapped you up.

A good book for disney lovers

It's a great take on Disney's The Beauty and the Beast. I loved it a lot and the narrator did a great job reading, especially with the voices.
