 Home Sweet Home. 
 Oh finally, I'm reading this book. FINALLY!!!!! I've waited to read this for ages!!!! But the wait is worth it, because I love Barnes and Noble Exclusive edition. I just love them. They've always got some cute little surprise for readers or some extra scenes. LOVE IT. Now...Return to the Isle of the Lost...in fact, it has been a long time since the last time I read The Isle of the Lost. And...I don't think I get the time to reread it before...I was so busy then and now I've got tons of books to read. But, since it's a Disney novel, I still remember the scenes pretty well and the movie as well!!! Oh wait! I think the sequel movie is about to come out as well!!!! (Just who can tell me how to watch it now since my favorite site being killed!!!! No!!!!!!!!) 
 Just like the first book, this is a very Disney-like novel. Villains loose, heroes win...oh wait! We have anti-heroes here!!! Do they look cool? They sure do! So...back to Disney style. This is kind of an interesting children book. Yes, it's definitely a children. Full of adventures and heroes and villains, oh! And magic! What I like about this book is that it's really fast, like so fast. I really like the idea of combining all of our favorite together, especially we can see more villain children in this book. See the title? "RETURN" to the Isle of the Lost. Besides, I love who the author use talismans to test Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos. It's like: "Yes, you're born as a child of villain, but you don't have to be one, even you hold the power on your hand." You can really see the four of them grow a lot since the first book and the movie. One of the most ingredients in Disney-related book? Believe in yourselves and see the treasures beside you. Melissa sure did it pretty well. 
 However, here comes the part why it's three stars rather than four. Those tests are just TOO fast. It feels like those troubles are so easy!!! It might takes some as well...please? Like for Evil, she got the first. She just simply have faith in her darkest fear than BOOM! The stuff is hers. Really? I haven't had enough fun. I think those tests aren't as good as the first book. At least I saw them panic in The Isle of the Lost. (But I really like the ideas of what their talismans are, it kind of reminds me of Once Upon a Time!!! Yes!!! Season 6 is here!!!) So that's my main problems with Return to the Isle of the Lost! Oh wait! We don't have enough sweet time of Mal and Ben!!!! They're such a cute couple!!!! How come we don't have more of them???? But all in all...this is a fit book for all Disney fan! And you know what's great about this book? Ican't wait for Descendant 2 to come out after reading this!!! 
 P.S. I met a nice seller talking to me about how great this book is at B&N, and it sure is!!!! If you happen to read this post...thank you for recommending me. (Although I plan to read it either way. XD)
