How have I only just found out about the Disney Villain series I really don’t know. However I’m so glad I did. There is a few in this series with new books due to be released.
Poor Unfortunate Soul By Serena Valentino
Synopsis
How did the sea witch Ursula become so twisted and filled with anger and hatred?
Determined to be with her new love Ariel makes a dangerous deal with Ursula. Will the cost of losing her enchanting voice and nearly her soul prove too high for Ariel, or will the power of good prevail?
Losing them finding ones voice is at the heart of the classic story the little mermaid.
My review
Since I was a little girl the Little Mermaid was one of my all time favourite Disney films. I used to watch it on a loop with a few others. I came across this book when my older children were looking for books on our recent trip away. There was a 3 for 2 offer on all children’s books so I took the plunge and treated myself. I’m so glad that I did. I finished this book in under three days and learned more about the villain behind the story that I love. The story mixes the tale we all know with new characters and bigger insight into why Ursula was determined to bring down king Triton and his kingdom by robbing Ariel of her voice. I have since been out and bought more in the series. They are fantastic reads for any Disney fan, young or old. I fell in love with the new characters as well as the old. There is also a mixture and reference to others in the Disney universe such as Malificent all entwining in this story and collection.
I rate this book a 4/5 which may be on the high side due to my love of the little mermaid and blinded by small minor details that had me hooked from the start.
It’s another book ticked off for my reading goal of 2018 now off I go to start on the next one.
If you read the Disney villains series do let me know. Who’s your favourite?
Until next time

I’ve seen some of these books in the shops but I wasn’t sure if they were genuine Disney stories. I’d love to read the book about Ursula and, even though they did the film, I’d like to read about Maleficent too. Great review – the big kid in me will need to read these too x

I wasn’t sure either if they were genuine or not but I’m guessing they are as they use all the characters etc. It was a really great read. X
