Poor Unfortunate Souls is where Ursula reveals the catch. End of the story? It’s only the beginning. Sea Witch Ursula agrees to give mermaid Ariel legs so she can live ashore with her prince. Here are my five favourite Disney villain songs. I love the music, the animation and how they reveal more about the characters. The songs I’ve chosen, without fail, tell us about the villain’s agenda. A good villain song should be catchy, it should tap into the dissastisfaction most of us feel at some point and it should give us a clue about how the story is going to pan out.

Most of the songs here are as equally about the protagonist’s temptations as they are about the villain. Disney are brilliant at exploring the darker side of human experience. Liked this review? Take a look at my blog BookTraveller.Think of your favourite Disney songs and odds are at least one of them is a villain song. My first read by Ms Serena Valentino and it’s my pleasure to highly recommend this book to any Disney villain fans out there! Can’t wait for the next volumes to arrive!

I also could help but wish that the story ended differently and that her fate wasn’t the one we’re all familiar with. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but she has one or two good reasons to be the way she is and to seek revenge, even if I know that it isn’t the answer to the problem.

I couldn’t help but feel for her and understand why she is the way she is. Being left in a state of fear, loneliness and rejection, turned Ursula to the path of hatred so strong that she has no chance at redemption. I loved this novel! It was amazing to see her story from the beginning and how it intertwines with the story of Ariel and scenes from the film to read "Poor Unfortunate Souls" while reading Ursula’s line of thought gave me goosebumps! This story gives depth to the villain and proves that no one is born evil. Haunted by her past, fuelled by hatred you’ll take a ride to the depths of the witch's' heart and beware, it’s a wild ride. This novel tells the story of Ursula, the most feared sea witch of all time and her journey to becoming the villain so known and terrifying in the sea world. Little Mermaid is one of all-time favourite Disney film and Ursula definitely one of the best villains, so of course this book is a must-have! The best part? It wasn’t disappointing, quite the opposite: unpredictable, heartfelt and very addictive! It seems I started in the middle with this series, but I regret nothing.
