The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz

5.0

This was an amazing read. This is the prequel to the Descendants movie that premiered in 2015. I, of course, have watched the movie before reading the book, so I thought it was interesting to see how their lives were before arriving to Auradon in the film. I thought the different POVs were great and the world building was fantastic. I thought Ben, Carlos, Evie, Jay, and Mal were amazing character. I did feel bad for them as it seems like most of their parents such as Cruella De Vil and Maleficent did not really care about their children just the things that will give them power and make them rulers. I can't wait to read the second book, Return to the Isle of the Lost to see what happens next. Also, I cannot wait to see what Descendants 2 movie has in store. I am a fan of musicals, so I will definitely enjoy that movie. Overall, a fantastic read.
