What are some popular descendants novels?

One popular descendants novel is 'The Descendants' by Kaui Hart Hemmings. It was later adapted into a movie. The story delves into the complex family dynamics of a man dealing with his wife in a coma and his two daughters. It shows how they all struggle to come to terms with their situation and each other.

One popular Descendants fanfic could be about the untold adventures of the VKs (Villain Kids) in Auradon before they fully integrated. For example, a story might focus on Mal's struggle with her magic in a new environment. Another could be a love story between a VK and an Auradon native that wasn't explored in the original movies.

Some common themes in 'the descendants fan fiction' are power and its implications. Since the characters are descendants, they often inherit certain powers or abilities, and fan fiction can explore how they use or misuse these powers. Another theme is redemption. There might be characters who have made mistakes in the original story, and fan fiction can be a platform to give them a chance at redemption. And of course, the theme of unity among the descendants, whether they are from different 'sides' or not, is also popular.

Another popular theme in both Descendants and Danny Phantom fanfiction is crossovers. For Descendants, it could be a crossover with other Disney properties, and for Danny Phantom, it might be a crossover with other superhero or supernatural shows. These crossovers allow for new and interesting storylines, as characters from different universes interact and face challenges together. For example, a Descendants and Danny Phantom crossover could have the Descendants characters ending up in Amity Park and having to deal with the ghosts there, while Danny and his friends could end up in the Descendants' world and face the challenges of that magical realm.

Another theme is often about their roles as parents in the context of the Descendants world. How they influence their children's actions and decisions, and how they deal with the challenges of having their children grow up in a different environment than they did. For example, Belle's influence on her son's love for books and knowledge, or Adam's teachings about leadership and courage. It's a way to expand on the family dynamics that are only hinted at in the original Descendants story.

One popular trope is the 'enemies - to - lovers' trope. Since Jane and Carlos are from different sides in the Descendants world, this can make for an interesting dynamic where they start off not getting along but gradually fall in love. Another is the 'hurt/comfort' trope, where one of them gets into trouble or is hurt, and the other comes to their rescue.

Romance is also a big theme. Some fanfictions imagine a romantic relationship between Mal and Audrey. This could involve a slow - burn kind of story where they gradually fall in love, or a more sudden realization of feelings in the midst of some big event in the Descendants world.

One popular theme is the 'forbidden love' aspect. Since Mal is from the Isle of the Lost and Ben is the king of Auradon, their relationship can be seen as something that goes against the norm in their world, which makes for an interesting and often explored theme.

Mal is often a very popular character in 'Descendants 3' fanfiction. Her complex backstory as the daughter of Maleficent makes her an interesting character to write about. Writers can explore her journey of fitting into Auradon while still having her villainous roots.

The sequence of the Descendants novels isn't always straightforward. Sometimes it's based on the chronology of the story, and other times it could be determined by the publication date. You might need to check the official information or the author's website for the exact order.
