A Crown of Snow and Ice by Melanie Cellier

3.0

Not my favorite version of a snow queen retelling but it also wasn't completely horrible.

A Crown of Snow and Ice was an okay book if I'm being honest. Not a lot stuck out to me or made me ooh and ahh. It was an interesting take on the snow queen but again, not my favorite. In it, you will meet Celine and Oliver.

Maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for more a frozen feeling than anything. Ya know? No idea if that actually makes sense but it's what I wanted. Celine is one of those free spirit kind of characters that isn't afraid or shy about anything. YET, she wasn't my absolute favorite character in the world (or this book). Maybe it's me but I was really bored with this one and her.

Enter Oliver, who was super adorable. God damn, his feelings and love towards Celine made her more likable. Heck with him by her side, I could get a little (okay, teeny tiny bit) invested into her character. Without him, then I would much rather read a book about Oliver. Just saying.

Overall, not my favorite book of the series. Maybe the next one will be better?
