About this deal

I was really excited for this graphic novel because I had loved the book so much, but I ended up disliking it more than I thought.

Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. While I'm not sure if it's supposed to be "cannon," I do find it fascinating that Valentino has given the Stepmother a backstory and a reason for being as cruel as she was. Halloween Parade • The Villains Rockin’ Halloween • The Villains World • Villains Grove • Villains Mix and Mingle • Villains Night Out!The tale of the young princess, Snow White, and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known-the Queen was jealous of the girl's beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen's attempt on the sweet, naive girl's life. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Because you are seeing someone who had good intentions from the start to be a mother and queen and who was happy in life and ends up falling into a deep dark spiral in life with ultimately their death. The reader is able to watch her downward spiral as she evolves into the evil stepmother we all know.

I will say I liked the twisted ending where Snow White receives the same mirror with her step-mother inside of it. I get what they were trying to portray by having black, white, and bright green but it didn't work for me, mostly in the beginning when the Queen was supposed to be the most kind, loving person ever.The author does touch on the story of Snow White but keeps rest of the story told from the POV of the wicked stepmother. The evil stepmother in this retelling of “Snow White” starts life as a commoner who marries the king and becomes a loving mother to his little girl. The royal family’s lives are richly described, with the inclusion of a new character: trusted lady-in-waiting Verona. This is pretty much an illustrated version of the Fairest of All book from the original series, but I didn’t mind one bit.

This “untold story” is fraught with modern themes of self-worth and appearance, hopefully showcasing how to fight the darkness and accept ourselves as we are.

I'm not sure the premise would have worked for me in the longer source material, but was it was certainly compelling enough to sustain this relatively short graphic novel. Disney Villains Fairest of All recounts a version of the story that many over the ages have viewed as plausible. Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch and The Odd Sisters: A Villains Book to be released in Summer 2019. I'm not saying the whole "bring me her heart" thing was above-board or anything, but the Queen probably did the world a favor in eliminating Snow (well, trying to eliminate her). They appear throughout the story, continually weaving their evil magic into the queen’s life and encouraging her to do horrible deeds.
