This one was alright for me. As someone who enjoyed the "Frozen" movie, the book was exactly what I expected it to be: a retelling of the film with some slight changes due to the "What If..." scenario these books like to present themselves as.
As for the "What If..." scenario itself, Anna and Elsa growing up apart without their memory of each other leads to some interesting twists and turns. One of my favorite aspects of the film was seeing scenes from the film recreated but with that slight twist of a change. Sometimes it's nothing more than an homage, but other times I would argue it creates scenes better than the film they came from.
That's all for now. I plan to go more into it on my new blog in the future. All I will say is that if you are a mega Disney fan, especially in regards to Frozen, then this will be fun for you. If you're someone who doesn't necessarily care for Frozen all that much or downright hate it due to all the popularity and hype the film received over the years, then this isn't a must read by any means.
