Twenty years ago, all the villains of your childhood classic Disney fairy tales get put into one island: The Isle of the Lost, under the command of King Beast, elected king of the United States of Auradon. Now, the kids of their respective villain parents are teenagers, ready to do whatever it takes to prove they're just as evil as their parents. I really enjoyed this book, especially the characters. While I felt the book had a slow start (with the plot only really coming into action about 150 pages into the novel), it had a great finish. You can find a couple plot holes here and there, though that doesn't make The Isle of the Lost any less enjoyable. Though in some parts, I found it repetitive that they had to mention how evil they were once every chapter but I guess I'll let it slide because, you know, that is the reason they're on the Isle in the first place. To sum it all up, if you're up for good and entertaining characters, totally read it! If you like a strong plot but don't care much for characters and character development, I wouldn't give you this book.

I really like this book and I think that if your between the ages of 9-12 you will like this book

I think this is the only book where the four VKs are still evil. I can see that they are turning the chapter to good, but I was amazed! I mean, in every single Descendants book I have read so far, they aren't evil. I mean, not evil at the end of the story. Maleficent, how could you send your daughter out there?! I mean, you are very evil, but sending your own, beautiful, daughter is absurd! Then again, you are a villain. Poor Mal's plan didn't work. Why she touched it instead of letting Evie is unbelievable to me.

great book

I really enjoyed this book! It was lots of fun to read. I was never bored, and it conveys a good message! :)

Have you ever wondered what happened to your favorite villains after the heroes they despised got their happy-ever-after? They were banished to the Isle of the Lost, surrounded by a magical force field that prevents them from leaving or using magic to hurt anyone again. In order to get out, they need their children to find the Dragon’s Eye, Maleficent’s evil scepter. It’s up to the children of Maleficent, The Evil Queen, Jafar and Cruella De Vil to find it and continue their parent’s evil legacy! Talk about serious pressure! This book was very fun to read. It had plenty of adventure and you can’t help but like the new generation of villains.

I've read this watched movie couple of times and watch wicked world and will watch descendants two.

Disney's evil villains have been banished to the Isle of the Lost. Sons and daughters of villains try to prove themselves to their parents and go on a quest to find Malificent's dragon wand. Fans of Disney characters will enjoy this book.

OMG! Such a great book! I can't believe Mal didn't like Evie before, they are like BFF'S in the movie
