Because You Love to Hate Me 13 Tales of Villainy Amerie Books

I liked only four stories

I liked only four stories. FOUR FREAKING STORIES. Honestly, it baffles me that most of the stories were written in the most childish and unappealing way EVER, and that most of them started with the character being good. It just made the stories boring and laughable, in my opinion. Why waste your time with making the characters good? Start with them being evil and develop them like that.

I was incredibly offended by the way Shannon did her story, in terms of storytelling. IF THE FAE KIDNAPPED CHILDREN MAKE A VILLAINOUS TALE ABOUT THEM BEING LIKE THAT, THAT IS FAR MORE ENJOYABLE THAN READING ABOUT HOW THEY "SAVE CHILDREN THAT ACTUALLY ARE JUST HURT"

Thank you, Ahdieh, Meyer, Pon and Schwab, for actually making this book enjoyable.

In a little more depth:
Ahdieh wrote a character that was already a little bit villainous and then turned into a true villain over the course of the story, it was fascinating to read.

Meyer managed to write a character that didn't know they were doing anything wrong and still make them dislikable. The plottwist with the betrayal made me genuinely surpised and I love what Meyer did with it. I found myself surpised, because I really haven't liked anything else Meyer has written, but good job Meyer.

Pon wrote a beautiful story that actually made you sympathise with the villain while still acknowledging that they are a villain. Dragging two different cultures together to create a new story is a very bold and beautiful move. Pon's writing is also magnificent.

Schwab's story was just plain amazing, with a interesting twist around every corner. A lovely read

Because You Love to Hate Me 13 Tales of Villainy Amerie Books Reviews

GreaT
Very nice
Person that I purchased this for liked it.
I loved these stories! Have me a whole new view on villains! And a whole new view of the authors writing these stories!
I would rate each story separately because I love them all for different reasons but that would take forever so I'll just name a few of my favorites. First of all, I love and adore villains. I've never connected with heroes of stories, I'm not perfect and I know myself well enough that if I ever received a superpower I wouldn't be the one stopping bank robbers with it. I mean realistically how many of us would? I've always secretly rooted and understood where villains stand just a little bit more. I mean in Harry Potter when voldy says hey give me Potter and no war needs to happen, who else didn't think this is an easy fix. I mean all these people died and he still went out into the woods anyways, why did they have to die?!? Story, I know, but realistically. Also I'm not saying I'd sacrifice one for the many but weigh your options I guess. Now don't go thinking I'm a horrible person, just average who knows herself well enough to have self identified as a Slytherin from the very first time I read the first book. Not all Slytherins are evil but ambition has the ability to be corrupted. So I know my flaws and work with them not against them. Anyways, too much about me and not enough about why I love this book. I love villains. I'm not saying I want them to win. I'm not Barney from How I Met Your Mother, here. I just get it. So an anthology retelling of all these stories I knew it would be heaven for my eyes because their plights make sense. Now some of my favorites were "The Blessing of Little Wants" by Sarah Enni, "Death Knell" by V.E. Schwab, "Julian Breaks Every Rule" by Andrew Smith, and "Sera" by Nicola Yoon. Each had a unique villain with a twist and Julian was just plain funny. I laughed the majority of the story and at the end was like WHAT!?! So it was a delight. Now my absolute favorite that tore my heart out was "Beautiful Venom my Cindy Pon, it was a medusa retelling in China medusa being Mei Du... It broke my heart and all the feels I could ever have. I actually cried. It's literally filled with social commentary on rape cultural and how victims get treated past, present, and future though I have hope. If you pick this book up I'd suggest just skipping straight to this story. The others are wonderful and I don't discount them in any way but this one hit me and touched me and I just... I feel so close to Mei Du, I wanted to hug her before and after as a villain. She deserved so much more than what she got and just... I don't know how to tell you to go read it anymore than I already have but if I can only spread it this way I will. I will forever love this story and so I'll forever love this book.
It's difficult to rate an anthology 5 stars, but the majority of these stories were so twisted and disturbing and ultimately phenomenal that they thoroughly crushed any negative thoughts I may have had in a fiery death along with everything else.
This anthology is deliciously villainous. I enjoyed every one of the thirteen stories that comprised BECAUSE YOU LOVE TO HATE ME, though Victoria Schwab's "Death Knell" was probably the best of the lot with its gorgeous prose and twisty plot. If you are a lover of short stories and anthologies, this is certainly one not to miss.
