renatasnacks 's review for:
The Isle of the Lost
by Melissa de la Cruz
I'm a sucker for a Disney villain! I was a little reluctant about this one just because [b:A Whole New World|24397040|A Whole New World (A Twisted Tale #1)|Liz Braswell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1433796054s/24397040.jpg|43981601] sucked so bad, but THIS one is by Melissa de la Cruz so I decided to give it a try.
And, it was really cute! A lot of kind of dumb word-play that I loved, like, Evie was "castle-schooled" (instead of "homeschooled"... because she lives in a castle).
I acknowledge that this was basically just an elaborate marketing ploy for the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants, and... it worked, I totally want to watch it.
I'm not going to give this a strong endorsement or anything, but the basic concept is cute and it's fun and competent. And, unlike A Whole New World, which I really need to re-emphasize is HORRIBLE TERRIBLE GARBAGE... this book is not horrible terrible garbage. [applause emoji]
