I loved this book so much and highly recommend especially if you're a fan of the Frozen movies and further exploring the world.

I loved the fact that Elsa and Anna were able to help figure out what the mystery was, right a wrong that was many years delayed and of course I loved getting to read about Sven, Olaf and Kristoff.

I am looking forward to reading more Frozen-inspired books.

Trigger warnings: death, someone is wrongly accused, other possible triggers.

4.5 stars Loved this add on to the Frozen stories we know and love. Elsa and Anna must work together to save Arendelle from the threat of eternal darkness unleashed by a seemingly Innocent story that kristoff tells at a campfire.

I have come to realize that I really enjoy books like this. Books that take a (specifically) Disney movie and make a new story. Something that comes after. It's just such a cool thing to have more of my favorite movies. One of my favorite books last year was Dangerous Secrets: The Story of Iduna and Agnarr by Mari Mancusi so I was extra excited to see what else she did alongside Jen Calonita to give us more Frozen!
I think these 2 ladies gave us the Frozen character perfectly. I always worry with books like this that the characters won't come across as they do in the movies. I didn't have to worry with this one. It felt like an extension of the movies instead of an extra piece that almost fits, but not quite.
We get a ton of Elsa and Anna as well as quite a bit of Olaf and a little Kristoff as well as some new characters too.
The actual story was really well done. It is different than anything we get in the 2 movies, but it ends up tying in with something from the movies. I think one of the biggest themes around these movies is family and sisters and we also get that in this book, but with different sisters.
Definitely a fun one to check out if you are a Frozen or Disney fan!
Thank you to Netgalley and Disney Audiobooks for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A brand new adventure for Elsa and Anna set about 3 months after the end of Frozen 2. The story was good, the mystery was intriguing. I liked the way Anna and Elsa worked together to solve the mystery and save Arendelle. However there were some plot elements I didn’t care for and parts of it were very sad. Not my favorite Frozen story.
