Evil Thing (Villains #7)

This is the story of Cruella De Vil. It follows something of The Great Gatsby route, being centered in that same old money world. All she ever wanted was her mother's love. Love that was not to be found even though Cruella could never see it. He mother was more obsessed with "things" and social status and couldn't be bothered with raising a child. **Shakes Fist** Darn you, Serena Valentino, for making me feel empathetic to such an evil villain. If I had any criticism, it would maybe be that Valentino tried to connect and explain too many little things to the movie.
Apparently Valentino has written a whole series of these books about Disney villains, but this was my first exposure. I liked it well enough that I'll check out some others.
Received a review copy from Disney-Hyperion and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.

Love your review. Seeing that you haven’t read the rest of the series I would definitely start from the beginning, since every story is a intertwined in someway.☺️

I definitely plan on going back and reading the rest. The issue is too many books and not enough time.

Evil isn't presented as good per se. Other characters recognize when someone isn't being treated well. It's Cruella herself who makes excuses for her or her mother's behavior.
Thanks a billion! That was really helpful!
