Cannot Conceal a Change

 This twisted tale was an interesting concept, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. There were so many parts of the story that I did not like the way that it played out and the changes that were made. I loved the idea that Anna and Elsa were separated after the incident with them as children. But for Olaf to become a huge part in Elsa's life and for Han's to have loved Elsa, ruined a lot of the original ideas after the movie.

As the future Queen of Arendelle, Princess Elsa’s life is full of expectation and responsibility, not to mention, questions. What type of ruler will she be? When will she have to pick a suitor? And why has she always harbored the feeling that some critical piece of herself is missing?

Following the unexpected death of her parents, Elsa is forced to answer those questions sooner than she’d hoped, becoming the sole ruler of her kingdom and growing lonelier than ever. But when mysterious powers begin to reveal themselves, Elsa starts to remember fragments of her childhood that seem to have been erased, pieces that include a very familiar-looking girl. Determined to fill the void she has always felt, Elsa must take a harrowing journey across her icy kingdom to undo a terrible curse . . . and find the missing Princess of Arendelle.


In the original story, Elsa was deemed as a very independent person who did not need a love interest or man in her life. This version completely changed the idea when Elsa and Hans started having interest in each other. I understand the idea of this book being different than the original story, but this was a bit of a dramatic change. Hans ended up having the same exchange with Elsa as he did in the original and it was very similar to the betrayal that he gave to Anna.

  1. This is a very different idea for a Disney-inspired book. I also feel like I wouldn't have enjoyed it
