Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In Fairest of them all we get a glimpse of the evil queens past. We read about how wonderful the queen first was to everyone around her especially Snow White who is a child for most of the book. We learn how happy she was to have a family and in love she was when she first married the king, but we soon find out how tragic things truly become when the king goes over seas to battle with his men but does not return. 😢 While grieving she loses the bonds she had with Snow White and those around her in the castle by keeping to herself in her bedroom day after day, and after given a certain gift by the cousins of the king who she had banished for doing something horrible to Snow, things get out of terrible out of hand for the queen who was manipulated and couldn't control herself anymore feeling like she is losing not only her mind but herself. This is the first book of the villain's series, I love how wonderfully written it is, the era, the way the characters speak to each other, you really get an understanding of why the queen becomes so evil it's not some sloppy writing story that doesn't make sense or didn't work with the movies we know and love. I honestly hope Serena Valentino writes about all the Villans! 😊
Pros: Beautifully written
Cons: Too short! (More of an opinion then a con, I couldn't find anything I disliked about it)
Recommended to: Disney, fantasy and fairy tale's lovers.
