This was an unexpected story, you know these are villains but a villain that is going to make you cry is here. We all know Cinderella’s stepmother Lady Tremaine; almost everyone hates her for the way she treats Cinderella and wants to ruin her life, but after reading this book, I am sure lots of people are going to feel sad for her because of the circumstances and the way her bad choices and mistake after mistake changed her life.
 
This book is going to tell us something about bad people and why people do bad stuff to others and in some cases; they lost something or want love or approval from a loved one. But then you find out something else and that is, some people are just bad, it doesn’t matter how they lived or how good you are to them, they will be bad no matter what.
 
I hope everyone who reads this book is going to learn from it. A simple and fast read as with all the books from this series. The author is actually well versed in Disney’s animated movies and the characters from these movies and stories. She took all these villains and gave them her own touch to make us understand the cause of evil they represent, but after reading this series you are going to feel differently about many of them.
 
I think this is not the last book in this series because I felt a lot of explanations are due from the main series and a lot of villains are left for us to read about. I am sure after reading this book you are going to end up pitying Lady Tremaine and then you are going to want more of these books with other villains that are still not included in this series.
 
A good and fast read with something for everyone. You can finish it in less than three hours if not a fast reader. Just start from the first book and read in sequence to enjoy all these books to the fullest. It was a wonderful series and it is very close to my heart even I am not from the recommended age. But for me, age has nothing to do with what I read or do. Because I follow “Peter Pan” philosophy of “you start to grow old as soon as you stop being a kid” (my own saying) and I never stopped being a kid and never will.
 
This paragraph is going to be the same for this book series so If you already read it previously then just skip to the next paragraph - This book series is about Walt Disney’s villains and about the life they had and what caused them to be like what you saw them on the screen. I always wanted to know about the other side of the story when I saw a villain do something evil. And I think now is the time when we can see and read about that because I see movies and read books about antiheroes and even villain’s backgrounds. Our society is at last evolving and adopting the open-minded approach and that is why we are trying to learn the opposite side’s story also.
 
Warning: This book may make you shed some tears depending on how hard it tugs at your heartstrings so just in case, keep a few tissues close at hand.
 
Synopsis:
“This was supposed to be her happily ever after...
 
It’s a familiar tale: A kind and beautiful young girl, reeling from loss. A doting father, frantic to bring a mother’s love back into his daughter’s life. And the selfish, cruel woman who insinuates herself into that family―a woman so unfeeling, so cold hearted, that when her new husband dies, she makes the girl a servant in her own home.
 
But who is that evil stepmother, that icy lady of the house? How did she become so closed off that, in the face of a child’s grief, she thought only to seek wealth and power for herself and her abhorrent daughters? Before that fateful ball, before the glass slipper and the prince, there was another story―a story of love and grief, of hope and of dreams dashed. It is the story of Lady Tremaine.
 
Even the coldest of villains are sometimes wives and mothers, women who loved and lost and hoped for something grander for their lives . . . once upon a dream.
 
The latest novel in Serena Valentino’s deliciously devious Villains series introduces the most famed and hated wicked stepmother of them all―but turns everything you know about her on its head.”
