Summary: "What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? 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."-- Provided by publisher.

Kirkus Book Review

"What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other?"Anna and Elsa from Frozen feature in this entry to Disney's series featuring their popular animated films reimagined with alternate premises. Accidents when they were young caused both Anna and Elsa to forget Elsa's powers and their relationship. Elsa grows up in the palace, and Anna is raised in a bakery on a mountainside, unaware of her royal status. Key moments from the film are still featured but with reworked pivotal status, as is some narration with strong nods to a certain viral song: "the cold never bothered her, anyway." The novel adds some depth to the worldbuilding, such as by naming and describing members of the palace staff, although no one returning or new adds great substance to the story. This outlandish, convoluted timeline leaves the sisters even more lonely than in the animated film's plot but still with a bond of sisterhood that apparently transcends physical separation with innate yet inexplicable yearnings and feelings. In the end, it's (authorized) fan fictionexactly what some fans crave. Characters' ethnicities follow the portrayals in the movie original.Let this one go.
