I always love picking up a retelling story, and I love getting to see thing from the villain's point of view. I like getting to see the behind the scenes of how they got to where they are. Most of the time I feel for the character, this one made it very difficult as yes, she went through a lot of things and no wonder she is the way she turned out however the way she takes it out on her daughters is not okay, I want to feel for her but at the end I was okay with her fate.

I liked the pacing of this book a lot more than it's predecessors. I found the stepmother to be relatable until I got to the end of the book. I just feel like there's more character development that could be happening. I wish the author could have gone more into the domestic abuse that was occurring, how strong the stepmother was to go through that, and how the stepsisters were affected. I felt like it was wasted potential.

Again another great installment in the Villians series. This story does a great job of explaining why Lady Tremaine treated Cinderella the way she did. In her mind Cinderella deserved everything she did to her. I sympathize a little more with Anastasia and Drizella now after reading this book. They were not treated great. This was not my favorite in the series, but it was still a very good book.
There is some mental and physical abuse in this story!!
