Big huge thank you to Disney Publishing and Netgalley for a review copy of this novel.

As soon as Mancusi and Calonita announced this book on Tik Tok, I KNEW I had to read it! I’ve loved both their previous work as well as I’m a big Frozen fan.

Thank goodness this book lived up to the hype for me! I honestly could read a million Anna and Elsa adventures and be happy.

This takes place two months after the events of Frozen 2 and we get to see how the sisters have adapted to their new roles in life. But then, of course, something happens to have people start losing their memories, which shouldn’t be surprising as they live in a world of magic and all.

So the sisters have to work together while also trying to find healing for some past girls who have a similar story to theirs.

I loved the parallels between Anna and Elsa and the sisters as well as getting both their viewpoints to how they can work together, while still grappling with healing their own past traumas and lost time.

One last thing, I really wonder if this character Red that shows up is related to/inspired by Red from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? To Tik Tok I go to ask!

Was good.i could picture the characters from disney talking and doing the events in the book. Felt like a Frozen 2.5. I enjoyed it.

Solid story, great to spend more time in the Frozen-verse. Very cool that the different spirits are a big part of Elsa's life, especially Bruni - he's the best. No earth giants though, but I suppose they are tough to work in and not terribly useful for day to day tasks.
