The Isle of the Lost
The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel | Melissa de la Cruz
100 posts | 86 read | 1 reading | 76 to read
Evil tree. Bad Apple? Twenty years ago, all the evil villains were banished from the kingdom of Auradon to the Isle of the Lost--a dark and dreary place protected by a force field that makes it impossible for them to leave. Stripped of their magical powers, the villains now live in total isolation, forgotten by the world. Mal learns from her mother, Maleficent, that the key to true darkness, the Dragon's Eye, is located inside her scepter in the forbidden fortress on the far side of the island. The eye is cursed, and whoever retrieves it will be knocked into a deep sleep for a thousand years. But Mal has a plan to capture it. She'll just need a little help from her "friends." In their quest for the Dragon's Eye, these four kids begin to realize that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good ain't so bad.

I enjoyed this book a lot especially since it was read by Sofia Carson who played Evie in the Descendants movies. I was pleasantly surprised that there was prequel to the very first movie, but I loved listening to how these four have become friends.

I liked getting some backstory to the movies, but some parts of the book didn't seem to match the movies. It was close enough, but little details just didn't align. The book was a fast read and was enjoyable. I do plan to read the other Descendants novels because I did like this one.

It was interesting to see what happened when the fairy tales were over. If i was younger i would think it was great. I have seen parts of the movie and thought the music was great.

Over the years, I‘ve been given loads of advice about books. However, one of the best bits is from my mom: “Don‘t look down on any genre of fiction if you haven‘t read it. You could find your next favorite in a genre you never read.” And that‘s why I‘m now reading a book meant for 5-6th graders 😂😂

ElizaMarie Your Momma gave you some great advice. And that set up looks so relaxing. 5y
DameWandaKarenina @ElizaMarie Yes she did. Thanks so much, I actually photographed it for a friend who is starting their bookstagram 😂. Although, I do want that desk 😍 5y

My local library has the graphic novel so I thought I‘d check it out since it‘s the #NWC #NovelWatchingCrew read for this month. I don‘t usually do graphic novels but thought I‘d see if it can kick me out of my reading slump. I also got the regular novel too. (And I thought about the audio since those are the only books I can seem to finish lately.

AkashaVampie That's awesome. I've never done a graphic novel. I probably should try one soon. 5y
ShananigansReads @AkashaVampie I generally don‘t like them. This one isn‘t too bad so far but I don‘t like that there aren‘t any page numbers. 5y

Scochrane26 @AkashaVampie I don‘t do comics much either but have tried some for book challenges. I‘ve read & loved 2 graphic novels so far—Nimona by noelle Stephenson (she‘s done the new she-ra cartoon) & Pumpkinheads by rainbow Rowell. 5y

"For a moment they saw a talking dog...then it switched to a pair of twins who were nothing alike (one was boyish and athletic and the other was sort of a diva, and they both sort of looked like Mal, except with yellow hair..."

I about died. This must mean Disney had already put Dove Cameron in the role before Isle of the Lost was written.

#NovelWatchingCrew #nwc @AkashaVampie @AsYouWish great challenges!

CHALLENGE 1 I'm a huge fan of Cameron Boyce. He was my daughter's first crush and his image and voice instantly came to me when he first talked to Evie. You will be missed. RIP.

AkashaVampie Awww! I have watched him on a few things. I was shocked to hear that he died. I believe he was only 20 yrs old. I watched an interview recently for the 3rd movie about the actors and the director talking about Cameron. They said he was the most kindest young man that would light up the room when he walked into it. 5y
AkashaVampie The director also said that he had to make them do dance moves over and over because every time they did it, he would only be watching Cameron because he was that good and a bright star! So so sad. I love the movies but its hard to watch them now that he has passed away. 5y

So I liked it. I did the audio book version of it and the reader was so good. I really enjoyed hearing her.

I was trying to watch it but it isn‘t on my “Hulu” so I might have to rent it from amazon possibly. (But I‘m trying a no-spend thing this month so... I don‘t know yet, might have to wait till October)

Anyway until then I‘m gonna listen to the second book
