Sea Witch by Sarah Henning5/24/2023 I recently read another one of these retellings about Cinderella’s wicked stepmother, but I enjoyed “Sea Witch” so much more. It’s like looking through history with a different lens, you recognize the events but there is a new perspective. We get a chance to see the history of this character and discover what might have made them evil. How wonderful, when an author can create an original backstory for a character that has always been one dimensional. And is there anything older than sea? This is the prequel to “The Little Mermaid” and tells the story of how the sea witch (dubbed Ursula in the Disney version) came to be. There is nothing that I look forward to more than a good retelling of an old tale. My opinions are my own and independent of receiving an advanced copy.I fell in love with this story. My thanks to Edelweiss, Katherine Teigen Books, Harper Collins Canada and Sarah Henning for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
