Fire and Fate: A Tale of the Lord of Darkness (Villains)

Product Information

I can tell that there were many connections between this book and others in the Disney villain series, particularly with The Odd Sisters, but it didn’t impact my ability to understand or enjoy the book.

I understand that the web is being woven, but the plot hops and story connects felt loose and somehow also hard to follow. Zeus took the sky and what fell beneath it for himself, then assigned the sea to Poseidon, and the Underworld to Hades. Seguimos con la historia de la hermanas perversas, un buen desarrollo en ese aspecto, pero Hades merecía algo mejor.

She is also the author of Evil Thing: A Villains Graphic Novel, Fairest of All: A Villains Graphic Novel, and the standalone novel Raising the Horseman. Hades is just as sarcastic and snarky in the book as he is in the movie, and the narrator even imitates the movie version’s voice well. It provides a lot of background about how Hades became King of the Underworld and his relationship with Persephone which is perfect for young readers or people new to Greek mythology, but it can be a bit boring if you are knowledgeable about the topic.

Sin embargo, creo que la historia de Hades ha flojeado un poco y mira que este villano tenía potencial.

I'm a huge Hercules fan and Hades is one of my favourite Disney characters so this really did hit the spot for me.

I get that the mythology version and the Disney version of him are very different but that didn’t work for me.

I really enjoy reading the Disney Villains series, especially to see how all these characters’ stories entwine to create one bigger story. Thank you to NetGalley and Igloo Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a honest review. Despite this, I loved the author’s writing style and thought that Hades was portrayed excellently, as I could almost HEAR him saying his words the way the movie character would have.Thank you to NetGalley, Disney Audiobooks, and Serena Valentino for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
