I always find it a fun take when a classic tale takes the point of view of the villain. It served to remind us that perhaps not everything is as it seems. Maybe the hero in one narrative is a villain in another. I don‘t really remember too much, except it was a nice little YA-vibe story collection that I would read again. ☺️ March‘s Double #BookSpin

I was drawn in my by the cover art and the concept; fairy tales from the perspective of the villain. However, I was quickly put off with the overly simplified narratives and childish writing style. 2/5
