Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I never heard of this story before. It's basically pure winter and pure fairy tale too. I was surprisingly fond of the characters by the end of it all, too. 

The thing that got me the most is how the hero is the female character. Coming from a short story written in the 1800s, that's no small thing. Is the girl the one who goes in a dangerous adventure to find her dearest friend, kidnapped by the Snow Queen. It's so nice.
