A good book with twists and tales along the way. Everything you think you know about fairy tales is completely flipped on it's head, creating a new narrative to every fairytale you've heard. Great to finally see Filomena and Jack together as well as the interesting cliffhanger of Filomena having to go it alone in the next book!

This book offers an alternative perspective as to why Cruella became who she did. The narrative sheds sympathy on her story particularly in her relationship with her mother and this being a primary cause for her descent into revenge. I particularly enjoy reading the alternate perspectives to the villains narrative which allows both sides to be taken into account

Pretty good book. It provided a deeper insight into Lucas's life which isn't truly explored into in the show. Some topical issues raised that show a deeper insight into life in the 80's
