Warning: This book is not a standalone book like the three books before this one. Do not read this book unless you already read at least the second and the third books in sequence, otherwise, lots of stuff is not going to make sense. The way the covers of these books are, they feel like stand-alone books, but a lot of stuff is going on behind the main story and what you saw in movies. You are indeed going to read about the villains of these movies and what caused them to be that way but you need to understand that these books introduced new characters and these characters are a big part of this series.
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.
I am not sure if this story is connected to the movie “Maleficent” because I didn’t watch it until now, so I can’t tell anything about that (will update as soon as I am able to watch the movie.)
Some twists are waiting for you and it is not just about the villains of Disney, you’ll find some backstories and stuff about the characters that you thought were good and helpful. The problem with some books is that you can’t review properly due to the issue with spoilers and I really don’t like to give anything away because I don’t like to read or know any spoilers either. Just know you are going to get confused and shocked at the same time but the main story is unfolding as we progress through the books and you’ll know a lot more in the next book so don’t skip this book or you’ll miss a lot of good stuff and main plot progression.
The writer is expanding on this universe by adding new characters and bringing a few hidden or unknown characters to the front and telling us the background of things that we just see in movies and sometimes think why this happened or why this fairy or villain did what they did.
The fairy academy is a nice concept and it opens up a lot of new story arcs if the writer wants and readers love it. But that is all I am going to tell you about the fairy academy.
A good read that is not as long as I wanted it to be but still it is a proper storybook that is going to take more than a few hours to finish.
Synopsis:
“The tale is told as if it’s happening once upon a dream: the lovely maiden meets her handsome prince in the woods.
The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the maiden finds out that she is a princess―a princess who has been cursed by a dark fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an eternal sleep. Though her three good fairies try to protect her, the princess succumbs to the curse. But the power of good endures, as her true love defeats the fire-breathing dragon and awakens the princess with true love’s first kiss. The two live happily ever after.
And yet this is only half the story. So what of the dark fairy, Maleficent? Why does she curse the innocent princess? What led to her becoming so filled with malice, anger, and hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account, pulled down from the many passed down through the ages. It is a tale of love and betrayal, of magic and reveries. It is a tale of the Mistress of All Evil.”
I suggest buying the hardcover version if you are a true fan or want to give it as a gift to someone who is a fan.
