Poor Unfortunate Soul by Serena Valentino

It is part of Valentino’s Villain’s trilogy series and can be read as a standalone but I feel like the reader would understand the book and series better if they had read the other books in the series, which I plan on doing very soon! Overall Poor Unfortunate Soul is any fantasy, fairy tale, Disney lover’s dream. Ursula is still herself in this book and she is definitely evil too, but Valentino adds more depth to the sea witch and she actually made me feel bad for her. There’s always two sides to a story and Poor Unfortunate Soul definitely tells you Ursula’s side of the story and then some! Valentino adds some other interesting details in Poor Unfortunate Soul that literally had me pausing my reading and saying, “Wait…what?!” I’ve read a lot of difference versions of retellings of fairy-tales but not like this! I like reading from different types of perspectives: good guy, bad guy, etc. I just finished reading it recently and I was completely blown away! I immediately grabbed Ursula’s book, Poor Unfortunate Soul. Overall thoughts:I am a huge Disney fan! Since I was little I loved everything Disney and it’s no surprise that I adore The Little Mermaid! Considering the basis of this blog’s design is based off beachy style! I was in Barnes & Nobles several months ago when I saw on one of the display shelves that Disney Published and author Serena Valentino teamed up to write books based off Disney villain’s points of views. Genre wise Poor Unfortunate Soul belongs to Young Adult and Fantasy.ĭescription: The third novel in Serena Valentino’s (Fairest of All, Beast Within) “VILLAINS” trilogy, featuring the story of the Little Mermaid from the perspective of the sea witch Ursula. It is the the third book in the Villans trilogy. What I also really loved about Poor Unfortunate Soul was the fact that when you remove the cover sleeve, the cover becomes Ursula’s human counterpart, Vanessa.īasics: Poor Unfortunate Soul was released on July 26th 2016, published by Disney Press and is 208 pages long.

Everyone knows The Little Mermaid and Ursula is one of the most iconic villains ever and I really like this cover. The Cover: I really love this cover especially for a retelling according to the villain’s side of the story.
