Evil Thing (Volume 7‪)‬

I love her villain series but this one didn’t fit with the others. She mentions the sisters and the fairy tales but it just didn’t fit. On its own, the story was very good and well written. I’d suggest reading this book with the thought of completely forgetting about the others in the series. That’s the only reason I knocked off the fifth star.

This was by far one of the best, if not the best books of this series so far. I loved how real and honest Serena made this story seem. It really took me on a journey through Cruella’s life. I definitely look forward to the next book.

I’ve read all the books in the series and excitedly pre-ordered this one, but was instantaneously disappointed. I put it down and revisited it a couple of days ago (almost 4 months after the initial read). I was able to finish it the time, but that’s about all I can say about it. It was lacking in many ways... I’m ultimately grateful that this wasn’t the first book from the series that I read for I wouldn’t have invested time in reading another. My recommendation: skip it.
