About this deal

I really loved how the story crossed over with other Disney characters as I am a Disney nerd and I would thoroughly recommend this book. I loved reading his backstory and how his story overlapped with other Disney stories, for example, The Little Mermaid, and other well-known characters such as Gothel and Maleficent. The myth has been told for centuries: Brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades waged a years-long war against their father Cronus and his tyrannical Titans. I LOVE how much this recapped the entire series and provided so many answers to most of the other fairytales that were left with questions. Then the odd sisters, Pflanze, the original Circe and Hades live happily ever after in the underworld.

The book links to previous villain stories within the series and tells Hade's story not just from the author's viewpoint but also from the character's view. Fire and Fate, in my opinion, is the best entry in the series so far, leaving a taste of "wanting some more" that will be hard to quench. 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. Hades has always been one of my favorite villains and it was nice to see some human qualities to him. Fire and Fate" is book 10 in the Disney "Villains" series by Serena Valentino being an origin story to Hades from "Hercules.Although he definitely would've preferred Zeus' position had he had the choice, With Hades ultimately becoming the outcast of the family, he becomes what he is made out to be: a villain. He was rather one note from beginning to end which I found such a shame because there are so many directions you can go with Hades and still be successful in getting his character bang on. What I like about this series is that there is a link of the book of fairy tales between all of them, with even some stories interconnected (we got a little Snow White, Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty in this one).

Lucinda was finally taking her revenge on Circe and a dragon came to life then Hades goes boop you’re dead along with the wraiths. The myth has been told for Brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades waged a years-long war against their father Cronus and his tyrannical Titans. Thank you to NetGalley, Disney Audiobooks, and Serena Valentino for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.While Hades tries to make the best of a lonely situation, eternity proves a long time to be forced live in a role—a domain—he never wanted. Enjoy this exciting new chapter in Serena Valentino's best-selling Villain Tales series, featuring a striking new cover design and Hades, the menace of the underworldAbout the AuthorSerena Valentino. The tenth book in the New York Times bestselling Villains series takes a dive into the Underworld, exploring how Hades turned from god to villain. While Hades tries to make the best of a lonely situation, eternity proves a long time to be forced live in a rolea domainhe never wanted.

Zeus took the sky and what fell beneath it for himself, then assigned the sea to Poseidon, and the Underworld to Hades.Years of being ignored and shamed by his family reach a fiery head, when three perfectly alive witches find their way into the land of the dead. Hades was fascinated by the odd sisters and wanted to be apart of their life so he took Circe away and made the odd sisters believe she was killed in the fire Maleficent caused in the fairylands. Insgesamt kann ich "Empor aus der Unterwelt" definitiv empfehlen, besonders wenn du Fantasy-Geschichten mit einer packenden Handlung und fesselnden Charakteren magst! I really enjoy reading the Disney Villains series, especially to see how all these characters’ stories entwine to create one bigger story.

I was expecting a new revelation about why he was banished to the underworld (per the Disney version), but it’s the same story from the movie “Hercules. Throughout the Villains series, the Odd Sisters have meddled in the lives of the Wicked Queen, The Beast, Ursula, Maleficent, and Mother Gothel, changing the course of fate for the greatest villains ever known. Algo muy interesante es que nuestro protagonista es el primero en cambiar su destino, eso es algo que amé.Leider muss man vorher die anderen Bücher in der richtigen Reihenfolge gelesen haben um den Inhalt folgen zu können und ist daher nicht eigenständig zu lesen. The synopsis states, “And the part of the story no one tells is that when your family treats you like a villain, it is far too easy to become one. But eternity proves a long time to be shoved into a role he never wanted, and with each passing day of being treated as a villain, he grows more vengeful. He comes to care for the Odd Sisters and while at first they were using each other, once the Odd Sisters lost their soul in the creation of Circe, Hades wants to right wrongs.
