Poor Unfortunate Soul-Villains, Book 3: A Tale of the Sea Witch

I've been thoroughly enjoying this book series, having read "The Evil Queen," "The Beast Within," and now "Poor Unfortunate Soul." The stories are always entertaining and delightful. This one stood out because it felt fresh and unique, offering multiple storylines instead of solely focusing on Ursula. Despite this, it kept me captivated and was a fantastic read. The book seamlessly intertwines three storylines, all contributing to the overall narrative. It seems to be the shortest one I've read so far, which made me anticipate a distinctive experience. Overall, it's a wonderful story and a pleasure to read as always, but don't expect the whole book to center on Ursula. While a good portion focuses on her, much of it explores other events as well.

Wonder of wonders, I read TWO books in ONE day!! Since I had previously read The Beast Within, the second book in Serena Valentino's Disney Villains series, I moved straight onto Poor Unfortunate Soul, which, as you can see, is Ursula's story. Hers was quite an interesting one too, I'll give you that! What I am finding myself loving about this series is seeing the movie play out in a way, yet we're seeing what's happening on the villain's point of view! In Fairest of All, we were following the Queen before she turned evil and wicked. This time we are with Ursula learning what cause her to turn to her path of evil and I must say it was pretty distressing. Hers was a sad tale like that of the Queen's. This series is definitely making one feel sympathy for these classic Disney villains. The odd sisters have come to Ursula because they want her help in finding their sister, Circe, who we previously met in The Beast Within. She has since gone missing and the sisters desperately want their youngest sister to come back to them. So they agree to help Ursula in destroying Triton so that she may be the only ruler of the sea. I found that this time there was a lot of reflecting back on the last story, which was the first one I read a few years ago, so naturally my memory wasn't so hot. We see Tulip, the young girl who was going to marry the Prince before his untimely transformation into a literal beast. Tulip wasn't doing so well with from the rejection of the Prince. And we learn she had unwittingly made a deal with Ursula that will greatly effect life as she knows it. I'm beginning to realize that these odd sisters are having their own story happening and it's building with each of these books. I'm definitely eager to get to this year's release given its Odd Sisters title! Alas, I've two more villains to read about before that and I am pretty excited to read about Maleficent and Mother Gothel! Maleficent has been mentioned several times now in these two (and like the second and thus making three) books and I am really interested in reading what her story will be like and what the odd sisters will do next given the events of this last one. This Disney Villains series is definitely one a Disney fan should not be without! It's a fun and magical series that is taking the stories we love and know by heart and showing us a different angle and letting us in on a whole new story that was always happening behind the scenes! Overall Rating 5/5 stars

I loved it a very interesting take on one of my favorite movies! Most definitely recommend to any Disney lover out there!

Ursula. Ariel -mermaids. Another short story as it was quick read. Good story on Ursula. I enjoy the villian series

Got this as a gift and it arrived in great condition!

I finished in one sitting and it exceeded my expectations in every way! I love how each book connects with one another and I’m excited to keep reading.

I love all the books but this one especially does not speak too much about Ursula and her life. It focus more on other characters. I would've love to hear a bit more about her daily life story like the other ones. Otherwise this are a great line of books too read. Love the link that they have between one and onther.

Love it!
