andreahylau 's review for:
The Isle of the Lost
by Melissa de la Cruz
3.5/5 stars
In this book, all the fairy tale characters live in tow places, the good live in Auradon, and the evil live on the Isle of the lost. A dome is placed over the Isle preventing the villains from escaping. In this book, we follow the daughters of Maleficent and Evil Queen. We also follow the sons of Jafar, and Cruella de Vil.
The world development is this book was okay. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't two bad. I feel like the author was trying to push some of the modern stuff in the book, even though, to me, it did not seem right to fit in there. The character development was okay as well, it could of been better when describing each character.
Mal: Daughter of Maleficent. Tries to be an mean and evil as possible.
Jay: Son of Jafar. A theif and is partners with Mal for thieving, but not friends.
Evie: Daughter of Evil Queen. She has been castle schooled for years and is finally going to go to Dragon hall.
Carlos: Sone of Cruella de Vil. More like her personal servant. He is very good at science.
Ben: Son of King Beast and Queen Belle. Next in line for the throne of Auradon.
My favorite character in this book is defiantly Mal. It is nice to see a mean character be the protagonist in the book and not them have to be the antagonist.
One thing I did like about the book though was that even though it lacked some elements, it was still fairly entertaining to read. It is short and I was able to read it in a day. This is a middle grade novel, so it is aiming for a younger audience.
My favorite part would have to be the part where Mal tries to get revenge on you know who if you read the book. It was funny how she kept changing her mind throughout the story of how to do it then finally coming up with a final solution then changing her mind again last minute.
One complaint I have about the book is that it is a prequel to the Disney's movie Decedents which means that I have to google the ending of the movie to figure out what happens to all the characters.
Overall, It is a good book. None of the things I despised about it really got in the way though. I would recommend this book for people who are way behind in there reading challenge. It is a fast speedy read with only like 300 pages!!
