Wow. This reread flew by and now all I want to do is watch the movie.
Poor Unfortunate Soul was all about Ursula. First, we got to see her before she was evil. Then we saw her become evil until she died. I will say that I enjoyed the twists a lot more than I did the first time around (I think?). I also still think it's weird that Ursula and Triton are related in this one but I could also somehow accept it.
Then there's the scenes that were basically from the movie and oh man - can I just stop writing this and watch the movie now? Please?!
All in all, the odd sisters ended up saving the day and were less annoying in this short little book. Definitely wished it was a bit longer just because Ursula is such an interesting creature but I will take what I can get.
I'm excited to dive into the next book!

“Well, well, my dear. Are we so brokenhearted as that? Is the loss of that terrible prince really worth your life?”
I love the cover. I loved the book. It makes me really want to re-watch The Little Mermaid.
Man, oh man, I do love villains. Ursula is probably my favorite villain but it could be because of her super freaking catchy songs.
I feel like all the books within this Villains series just keep getting better and better. Plus having all of these disney movies and being a total disney geek as a kid doesn't hurt either.
Now even though I was kind of disappointed this book was still really good. I love finding out why these characters turn into villains. Their stories are so freaking interesting that I found myself instantly hooked. I need more villains! I need more stories! And I kind of want movies??

Spoiler
Ursula's book is obviously about the little mermaid and it's also super obvious that it's from her point of view. This is a recurring theme within the series so it shouldn't be a surprise. Now the one thing I didn't like about this book was Tulip. Poor sweet and innocent Tulip had a bigger part than Ariel, who is the main character in the little god damn mermaid. I get that her story line somewhat leads to Ariel's but ugh, I just wanted to read more about Ursula and Ariel. I'll take what I can get though.Now even though I was kind of disappointed this book was still really good. I love finding out why these characters turn into villains.

Compared to Books 1 & 2 of the Disney Villains series, Ursula’s story gives a broader view of the surrounding plot versus her actual villain origin story. It reminds me of “Lion King 1.5” if you ever watched that movie - just a behind the scenes to what’s actually happening in the main story. It feels like the author is using this as the framework to set up further additions so overall not bad but I wish there was more of an Ursula narrative.

I love Ursula so i was extremely pumped to read this! I read book 1&2 prior and this was such a disappointment! I found there wasn’t a lot of back story, still don’t know much about Ursula, felt like i could’ve skipped this book
Definitely the most boring so far of the series
