IF YOU WANT TO SOB UNCONTROLLABLY THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.
i finished this book in three days.
three days.. i’ve been on an emotional roller coaster. right when my heart felt so full of excitement for Autumn, the author decides to destroy my heart IN THE MATTER OF TWO PAGES.
my heart shattered to smithereens like glass breaking on cement. i read the first sentence to chapter 85 and i immediately started sobbing. it took me 10 minutes to even control my tears to get through the rest of the book. i’m still crying over the ending and it’s been hours since i’ve finished.

Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch by Serena Valentino
2.5
i was hoping for more backstory on ursula. instead, it’s mostly the three witches searching for their little sister and talks of the dark fairy for the next book.
it took a lot for me to finish this one, like 30% of the book is based on ursula.

i really enjoyed the whole “villain” backstory and why the are who they are.
the queen was emotionally abused by her father.. <so once gifted the mirror and his soul being trapped inside he had no choice but to tell her she was beautiful> her motives were completely driven by vanity and the need to feel accepted by her father.
the grief definitely made her more susceptible to being so involved with the magic mirror. the love from her husband was no longer there when he passed.
