Escape from the Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz

Escape from the Isle of the Lost is the fourth book in the Descendants series. It is the prequel to the movie Descendants 3. Once again Uma is up to her tricks in wanting to break the barrier around the Isle of the Lost. She works with Hades to lure Mal (who came back to the Isle with Evie, Carlos, and Jay to spread the word of the VK program) into opening up the barrier. On top of that Mal, Evie, and Jay are preparing to graduate Auradon Prep and get ready for the rest of their lives.

What I like the most about this series is how the books and movies work together to continue the story of Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos. The novels show what happens between the movies and pieces together the storyline. The way the books and the movies work together to create the story of Descendants is unique. I have never come across another series like it. 

On top of the uniqueness of the series, De La Cruz is an incredible writer. I love reading her work and it always reads so fast. She writes using different perspectives throughout the novel so the reader gets the feel of what is happening with each character and the struggle they are going through. The different perspectives allow the readers to connect with each character on a more personal level and then you also get to see it on the big screen as well. 

I have listed the order of the series below in case you would like to read it from the beginning if you haven't been following Descendants already. 

1. The Isle of the Lost (novel)
2. Descendants (movie)
3. Return to the Isle of the Lost (novel)
4. Rise of the Isle of the Lost (novel)
5. Descendants 2 (movie)
6. Escape from the Isle of the Lost (novel)
7. Descendants 3 (movie)

Descendants 3 will be out on Disney channel August 2, 2019. I am looking forward to watching it, and I know many of you are too. Feel free to leave any thoughts you have in the comments below. Have a great day my lovelies!
