Ok, so technically I’m reviewing a series of books but I digress. I was drawn to this series due to its connection to Disney. I am a Disney fanatic, as I’m sure you have figured out by now. If you haven’t figured that out, just take a look at some of my previous posts and, I promise, it will become clear.

This series is entitled Villains. It is written by Serena Valentino and published by Disney Press. This series of books focuses on the villains in several iconic Disney stories, while intertwining them with each other. Each book focuses on how the villain became the villain; their backstory. In addition to well known characters, there are three other characters, known as the Odd Sisters, that make their way mischievously through each story. Their little sister, Circe, also makes several appearances in all the books. I really enjoyed the way Serena used known facts, deleted scenes, and the original stories to develop the details of the villains’ pasts. There were several surprises that took some thinking to make sense. Of course, the additional characters were engaging and really added a new depth to each story. I would definitely recommend this series, especially if you love Disney. Even if you don’t, it is a great take on how villains can be created by the simplest of choices.

Below, I will review each book individually. Caution: spoilers may occur.
