Then, when I've read them all, I award The Julie Prize, which is the book I think should have won. (It's simply not feasible to have them all read before the winner is announced in October). It's based in the UK, but books in English from authors around the world are eligible.īecause I'm a completist, for the last 10 years or so, I have read every book on the longlist with the goal of having all of them read before the longlist is announced the following year.

Very evil.Īnd now I want to stop reading books today and watch disney movies. Mistress of All Evil will definitely give you more of a background into Maleficent (sort of like how her own movie gave a different view on Sleeping Beauty and background into how she grew up) and it takes you throughout her journey to becoming evil. This is kind of like my disappointment in Ursula's book because Ariel wasn't the main focus in that book - but some other lame mermaid. I mean it is her book and everything so I just kind of expected more of her point of view than anything else. The only complaint I have is that I wanted more of Maleficent. There are a ton of different POV's in this book - which can somewhat get a bit confusing while listening to the audio - but it's really enjoyable at the same time. I absolutely adore these books and they definitely get me into a Disney mood. Now I've never made it past book 4 so I'm really intrigued what the next one will give me. Beyond addicting and I'm always hooked for another Disney adventure. There's just something about retellings that grabs me into the story. ![]() I'm trying to make it so it's one book a day or so but dang it's hard. So I'm not going to lie, I'm devouring this series so freaking easily. ![]() Their 'relationship' reminded me of Maleficent - the movie. It was also really interesting to see the three fairies not being all goodie goodie too. Going into Maleficent and reading her story - well, there's no reason to doubt why she became the way she did. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Firmly in league with Roald Dahl and Neil Gaiman.

The characters-both the suspects and the non-suspects-were all fun and interesting. There were a lot of twists and turns as well as potential suspects, making for a very enjoyable read.

I only picked up this audio because I was having a bad allergy day (that makes reading uncomfortable because my eyes felt like they were on fire). I wouldn't recommend the audio book to this novella. I started getting lost on which characters were having a conversation because there was barely any differentiation between them. ![]() Both don't have much range in accents and voice tones. I'm not a fan of male narrations but between the woman and man narrating this, I prefer his narration. ![]() This wasn't my favorite narration of a book. I wish this novella had been attached to the first book because it would have made things a lot better and I wouldn't feel like I'm being strung along. They seem to be on this never-ending journey and they never get to where they need to go. It feels like they're stuck in the same place, to be frank.
