So this is the first book I finished in 2019! That's crazy!
So here is my first real review of 2019...
This is probably going to be all over the place :)
I really enjoyed this book. I'd already seen the two movies that are out at the moment and I can't wait for the third one that comes out this summer!
This book takes place before the first movie, like exactly before the movie, like the book ends where the movie begins.
In this book we get to know the villain kids, Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay, a lot more. The first half of the book is just about the characters, there isn't much plot happening. But for me this wasn't boring, I actually enjoyed getting to know the characters more.
About half way through, the plot actually begins. But still, the characters and their thoughts were more important than the plot. Most of the times I actually dislike these kind of books, but with The Isle of the Lost I really enjoyed it. You get to see how the villain kids sometime struggle with being evil and doing evil things.
Because I've already seen the movies, I already knew the ending of this book. But still the book wasn't what I expected it to be!
I really recommend this to everyone who has seen the Descendants movie(s) or who plans to watch them, it is a must read! I totally plan on reading the other two books in the series.
