Great breathtaking performance

Maleficent mistress of evil takes place five years after the events of the last book. Faeries have been going missing from the moors, and Maleficent believes humans are the cause. Aurora is 21 and in love with prince Phillip, and soon to be married. Phillips parents, are overjoyed at the news, or the King is anyway. Queen Ingrith is a cold and evil character. She despises faerie folk and moor folk alike. Ingrith wants to destroy the moors and all who dwell within it, simply because she believes that humans and faeries can’t live peacefully together. Maleficent doesn’t like queen Ingrith from the second she lays eyes on her, and framing Maleficent for the kings sudden ailment doesn’t make it any better. After Maleficent is shot down from an iron bullet and proclaimed dead, she is rescued and saved...by dark fey, Maleficent's own kind. They’ve been forced to live in hiding because of humans and their destructive ways. Maleficent finds hope and friendship amongst her own kind, and confusion too since she grew up believing she was the only one of her kind. Queen Ingrith wants a war, and because of her cold and evil ways, she gets one. I hated Queen Ingrith, she was so determined to start a war and cause problems that didn’t exist until she made it happen. She’s a cold vile woman who doesn’t deserve to be married to such a wonderful king who only wants peace and prosperity like his son Phillip. I love a good movie tie-in, I really do! If it's well written, so the writing is smooth, and well-packaged, it's so fun to read, especially if you loved the movie. Which I did! I really loved both Maleficent movies, and I love how they're packaging these "villain" stories, with the velvety black hardcovers and the decorated pages! I liked that this book gave you more of a view into Queen Indrith's thoughts and motives (the appeal of tie-ins is this, and if there are any deleted scenes they kept in the book). I feel like the parts with Maleficent's people went by too fast, because she didn't (thankfully) stop to describe every twig of every nest and every feather of every wing . But it's a very nice novelization, and if you're a Maleficent fan from way back, as I am, obviously you need this!
