I love Frozen, especially Frozen 2, so I’ve been excited to read this book. This book is set about a month before the events of Frozen 2 and does a decent job of setting things up while still having an adventure of its own. I only wish this book had more Elsa or at least gave us her POV. The story mostly focuses on Anna, which had me anticipating a different ending than what we got.

I’m also a little bummed that it was Elsa’s emotions and fear that caused the monster. I feel like Elsa gets blamed all the time for her powers and emotions. I was ready for this to be Anna’s doing and for her to face consequences for casting a spell. Can Elsa just get a break for once in her life? 😅
