Frozen 2: Dangerous Secrets: The Story of Iduna and Agnarr by Mari Mancusi
4.0
A sweet, empowering love story that gives us more insight to the parents of Anna and Elsa in the Frozen series. Because of the tragic end to Iduna and Agnarr's story, we don't get to learn much about who they are as individuals, parents, or a couple in the Frozen movies. In fact, in the first Frozen movie I can't say I was much of a fan of the two due to the choices they made regarding Elsa, but knowing about their past and their reasoning behind their choices redeems them as characters in my eyes.
The only mild complaint I have about this book was how rushed it sometimes felt. In order to fit all of their story into one book, there was no avoiding having to rush it along at times, but I think their story could have been drawn out a lot more enabling the readers to get to know these characters even better. I greatly enjoyed the many allusions to themes and sayings we first saw in the Frozen films, with each one making me smile. Learning of Iduna and Agnarr and being a fan of the Frozen films, it was a joy to see how Iduna and Agnarr's influences rubbed off on their daughters. I think this is a great book for any Frozen fan. The book is targeted for middle grade to teen readers, though I still enjoyed it as a young adult. The book also switches perspectives between Iduna and Agnarr, though Iduna seems to be the more "true" narrator as the one with more of the answers to their questions, and I think the book would have been just as good if her perspective was the only one we saw.
