It felt inhumane, despite the fact that they were villans, and it felt downright abusive to their kids who were innocent and shouldn't have to suffer for what their parents did, over which they had zero control. The premise of them being sent to an isolated island in which there is no magic to live just didn't feel like a great premise, especially when you add in the fact that they had children who grew up within this punishment environment in which they ate rotten food and survived on stuff that wasn't wanted by the good people in Auradon that was ruled by King Beast and Queen Belle. It felt like the maybe the author was too restricted by trying to work off of the Disney villans, which aren't the most fleshed out characters in the films. The characters lacked depth and felt flat to me. I just never felt myself fall into the story and forget I was reading a book. Well, honestly, I was not all that impressed. I kept seeing it on display everywhere, so I grabbed a copy to see what all the hoopla was about.
I just finished reading The Isle of the Lost, which has been getting a lot of hype in local bookstores and reading groups around my area. Mal and Uma have a score to settle, and they'll come face to face in an explosive underwater battle that could determine the fates of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost once and for all.
Together, they can defeat Mal, bring down the barrier, and escape the Isle for good. When she discovers an underground lair belonging to Hades, god of the underworld, Uma realizes she's found the perfect partner in crime. Trapped on the other side of the barrier, Uma is more desperate than ever to get her long-awaited revenge against Mal. But Auradon's biggest threat is still at large? Facilier's trickster daughter, wants in on the deal!-and Mal's crew is using their upcoming visit to the Isle to help make it happen. There are tons of villain kids on the Isle of the Lost who are eager for their chance to come to Auradon Prep-even Celia, Dr. Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos may have once been the baddest of the bad, but their wicked ways are (mostly) behind them-and now graduation is almost here! But before the seniors can don their custom-designed caps and gowns, courtesy of Evie, they've got an epic plan to put into action.
