![]() ![]() More than any previous book in the series, this story crosses paths with several Disney animated films, including characters from Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, and Hercules. ![]() The story starts with Maleficent succeeding in getting Aurora to prick her finger and then contains a mix of flashbacks to provide the mistress of all evil’s backstory as well as a recounting of the events that transpired between the fulfillment of her curse and the climax of Sleeping Beauty. ![]() Overall, they’ve become an annoying takeaway from the main storyline and I was secretly hoping their apparent demise in the last book was final. At this point, I’ve grown tired of this trio, especially as each successive book has expanded their role. While Maleficent graces both the jacket and inner cover of the book (she’s a dragon underneath), the pages of this book devote a significant amount of pages, nearly half, to the Odd Sisters and their good sister Circe. ![]() To catch up, be sure to read Fairest of All, The Beast Within, and Poor Unfortunate Soul in that order. However, fans of the most wicked villain in all Disneydom should note that these books have a tremendous amount of carryover and need to be read in order, or readers will be very lost. Author Serena Valentino returns for her fourth venture into the world of Disney Villains with Mistress of All Evil: A Tale of the Dark Fairy, a twist on Maleficent’s story. ![]()
