Fairest of All

 Fairest of All By Serena Valentino

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book and at first, I was skeptical. But after I finished it I gave it some thought and realized. This could be a great way to showcase how negative vices can destroy not just an individual, but an entire family and even society. In the case of this book vanity is what was the ultimate demise of Snow White's step-mother. This story introduces us to a young woman who grew up in a home with an emotionally and verbally abusive father. Then met the king and found not just love with a wonderful man, but a new family being able to be a mother to a cute little girl. After the death of her husband the queen fell into a grief that she didn't want to face and instead became obsessed with being the most beautiful woman in her kingdom that eventually lead to her demise.

This story was different from what I thought it was going to be. It makes sense though. I like most people grew up watching Pinocchio and know his story well. But this is the back story behind the blue fairy even before she turned Pinocchio into a living puppet. This is one of those stories that brought out all different types of emotions. Honestly, if this book was anything like the football games my parents like to watch, I probably would have sat and yelled at the book. 😂 That just means it was very well written to be able to produce that sort of emotion. I have really enjoyed the Twisted Tale series and I cant wait for more to come out.
