Anyway, the conclusion of the plot was not good. I kept on asking, "Did that just happen?" However, it was not asked in the good way. But, the resolution to that conflict was so completely and utterly unintelligent I had to put the book down for a moment. For example, I thought I would love the It's a Small World part with the demon dolls.

Plus, any good parts were just not memorable. Their circumstances and battles were conveniently (and impossibly, even for a fiction book) solved. I'm still confused as to how they even progressed through the book. I'm still confused as to what the Stonecutter's Quill had to do with anything. The events surrounding the entire plot were completely unexplained. However, once you got into it, it was horrible. When you look at Disney, there is so much potential for a good story, and the back to this book seemed to capture that potential. It was probably one of the worst I've ever read. I'm aware that this is a kid's book and that the dialogue needs to be slower/more obvious, but this would have insulted the intelligence of my 8-year-old sister. I could have slapped the characters every time they asked some obvious, stupid question.

I could find no reason whatsoever to hate Maleficent other than the previously known fact that she tried to kill Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. I found myself uncaring if they lived or died (but I know they didn't die since this is an unfortunately continued series.) Not to mention, the bad guys did not seem bad. There were surface-level perfect, spawns of Mary Sue and Marty Stu. You didn't know what they liked, what they hated. You couldn't connect to anyone because the author simply didn't describe them. They were underdeveloped to say the least. bad, but let's break it down into elements. I've seen this book every time I've gone in a store, and I figured it must be good.Įverything was so. Living in Florida, I love Disney with a fierce passion.

Where do I begin to describe my disappointment?
