Description
But hidden in the mysterious Forbidden Fortress is a dragon's eye: the key to true darkness and the villains' only hope of escape. Only the cleverest, evilest, nastiest little villain can find it...who will it be?
Maleficent, Mistress of the Dark: As the self-proclaimed ruler of the isle, Maleficent has no tolerance for anything less than pure evil. She has little time for her subjects, who have still not mastered life without magic. Her only concern is getting off the Isle of the Lost.
Mal: At sixteen, Maleficent's daughter is the most talented student at Dragon Hall, best known for her evil schemes. And when she hears about the dragon's eye, Mal thinks this could be her chance to prove herself as the cruelest of them all.
Evie: Having been castle-schooled for years, Evil Queen's daughter, Evie, doesn't know the ins and outs of Dragon Hall. But she's a quick study, especially after she falls for one too many of Mal's little tricks.
Jay: As the son of Jafar, Jay is a boy of many talents: stealing and lying to name a few. Jay and Mal have been frenemies forever and he's not about to miss out on the hunt for the dragon's eye.
Carlos: Cruella de Vil's son may not be bravest, but he's certainly clever. Carlos's inventions may be the missing piece in locating the dragon's eye and ending the banishment for good.
Mal soon learns from her mother that the dragon's eye is cursed and whoever retrieves it will be knocked into a deep sleep for a thousand years. But Mal has a plan to capture it. She'll just need a little help from her "friends." In their quest for the dragon's eye, these kids begin to realize that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good ain't so bad.

Love how she introduces the characters. I love that it also takes place before the movies do. I'm glad I have read all these books and love them
[Spoiler free Review]This book does a great job of fleshing out the characters, because let's be real the boys didn't get much character in the movies (which I don't mind, the movies were about the girlies, but it's still a treat to learn more about them). When I saw that Descendants had novels I was wondering what they would tackle and this book is about the group getting together and I was pleasantly surprised when it starts out with Evie and Mal being enemies! That's insane, considering their off the charts chemistry in the movies, it was a great idea.Jay and Mal being a duo and Evie with Carlos was also an intriguing idea and gave us time with each of them. I really appreciate that this book has several POV's, even a surprise Ben POV! Loved it. Ben was okay in the movies, nothing special just a good boi, but in this book he is quite intriguing and I hope to see his POV more often in the next book.The circumstances of the villains is insane to think about, those poor kids are eating moldy bread for breakfast just for being born to villains lmfaooo, Disney you are brutal. But I really appreciate the details of how the villains live on the island and how they behave towards their children (poor Carlos, free him).I love fairytales and I love crossovers so naturally Descendants and Ever After High are highly enjoyable to me and this book was a great read. If you like either of these things too I HIGHLY recommend this book, there was a lot of love put into it and it's an easy but engaging read!
