As much as I like The Little Mermaid, I didn't like this version. It was very much like the Disney version, but also felt like it tried too hard to be deeper and more original. ( )

An interesting concept, but the writing didn't grip me, and was confusing in places.
I liked the word for word references to thd original Disney film. ( )

So far, this has been my least favorite of the Villains series. You would expect a book that features Ursula on the cover to actually be mostly about Ursula. It's not. About 50% of the book has to do with the Odd Sisters and their troubles with various other witches.

That being said, there are some scenes in the book that will be familiar to fans of the film, The Little Mermaid. And if you are very familiar with the movie and the scenes, you can do the voices in your head, which is always fun.

A weak installment in the series. ( )

again, when you have to ask someone else what happened in the movie - so you can get a sense of where this book is going, you have issues - and all I kept singing was poor unfortunate souls the whole time I read it.. so that didn't help. Overall not bad, definitely not my fav in the series though.. very heavily referenced maleficent especially toward the end so now I'm off to start that one ( )

The Fates Causing Damage in The Enchanted Land
Basically, Snow White's Evil Queen, had s great back story and the introduction to the Fates was neat, The Beast Prince bored me to sleep 4x and Ursala's back story was okay, but Leigh Bardugo offered a much better back story for her reasons of being Evil and a witch.
Kinda Disappointed ( )
