Return to the Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz












mal and ben - hugs

I love that the quote from this book was about Mal and Ben hugging, and the gifset is a parallel of them hugging in the franchise. I've recently learned that Malvie (Mal and Evie) was a ship haha.  The book was great.  Some of the characters names' are different from the movie: "Harriet Hook" vs. "Harry Hook", "Anthony Tremaine" vs. "Dizzy Tremaine", "Freddie Facilier" vs. Celia Facilier."  Dizzy Tremaine is my favourite of the second generation of VK (Villain Kids).  I can't wait to make a post about her.

I love this series but I wouldn't buy it - as much as I love Melissa de la Cruz (mostly because she shares my name) - but because there are continuity errors between these novels and the movie franchise.  Of course the alternative names: "Harriet Hook", "Anthony Tremaine", and "Freddie Facilier", could simply be siblings of the villain kids mentioned in the second and third movies.  I also like that Melissa de la Cruz tells her own story.  She doesn't reiterate what happens in the movies. I really love this franchise because it lends itself so beautifully to headcanon.
