The tale of the sea king's daughter Ariel is a beloved one of losing-and then finding-one's own voice.
The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the mergirl wants more than her world can offer, and her father demands that she live within the confines of his domain. Her rebelliousness costs the little mermaid her voice and nearly her soul. But the power of good prevails, and Ariel emerges proud and unchanged.
And yet this is only half the story. 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. Here is one account of what might have shaped the sea witch into a detestable and poor unfortunate soul.

Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch by Serena Valentino is a captivating read that will enchant fans of fantasy and fairytales, particularly those who delight in exploring the complexities of villainous characters and the darker side of beloved Disney stories.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I'm loving this book series as another lenses of viewing the villains that we know and love, but I found there was too much focus on the Odd Sisters trying to track down Circe, and of Princess Tulip and Morningstar Kingdom (hate this name btw) and I don't even know who Princess Tulip is? Or Prince Popinjay? And the book is not even that, the shortest one so far, and yet it was so split between these two storylines. There was also a lot of references to Maleficent, and I know her book is next in the series, so I know she is leading up to her book, but I don't want so many lead ups to the next book, but rather focus on the current story with the small few snippets leading into the next book.
Ursula's backstory is interesting, and I love that she basically included the entire song of 'Poor Unfortunate Souls', but none of the stories have lived up to the Evil Queen's backstory get. The Evil Queen's backstory gave so many explanations as to why she behaved the way she did and made me see her in a whole different light, but I don't get that as much in this story, it's not to say I didn't get any insight into her motives, but they were too mixed up in other story lines that it didn't always make sense.
