Poor Unfortunate Soul – the third book in the Valentino Villains series – gives Ursula her very own voice with which to tell her very own story. Do NOT read ahead if you have not read Books 1, 2 and 3. Please note: this review CONTAINS SPOILERS. (See my book review of Fairest of All and The Beast Within.) If that’s not a countdown celebration, I don’t know what is. With the long-awaited release of The Odd Sisters: A Tale of Three Witches – the first of Valentino’s characters to have a book of their own – set to hit shelves this summer, I decided to re-read and review Books 1-4.
Not only do Valentino’s stories give readers the opportunity to explore villains they know and love, readers are also introduced to new characters that operate behind the scenes of classic Disney plots, giving tales-as-old-as-time a bewitching new twist.
Here is one account of what might have shaped the sea witch into a detestable and poor unfortunate soul.Author Serena Valentino has taken the world by storm with her best-selling Disney Villains novels published by Disney Press.
So what of Ariel's nemesis, Ursula, the sea witch? What led to her becoming so twisted, scorned, and filled with hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. But the power of good prevails, and Ariel emerges proud and unchanged. Her rebelliousness costs the little mermaid her voice and nearly her soul. But always the mergirl wants more than her world can offer, and her father demands that she live within the confines of hi. The story has been told many times and in many ways. The tale of the sea king's daughter Ariel is a beloved one of losing-and then finding-one's own voice. Illustrated by Storybook Art Team, Disney
