I remember that, in 2013 the song 'Let it Go' was everywhere,

And I do mean everywhere.

Which is perhaps why I never actually saw this movie at all, thinking it wasn't for me, until it was shown on TV over the Christmas period.

This is based loosely on the Hans Christian Anderson tale 'The Snow Queen', and introduces the characters of Anna and Elsa as well as Christoph, Sven and (of course) Olaf, who continues the Disney comic-relief tradition of stealing nearly every scene he is in.

Lots have also been made over the years about how it replaces the typical Disney convention of true love between a Prince and a Princess with that between two sisters: this is true, while it does also make room for a more conventional romance sub-plot to bubble along underneath.

I struggled with this review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year and I just did not love it as I expected. However, the hype I built up for myself was probably a disservice to the book and in the end plays apart in my disappointment.

Overall, the book was an enjoyable read and I would still recommend it. The middle took a weird turn for me and never seemed to come back from that. I didn't like the ending although it does leave room for drawing your own conclusions. I also believe that some of the characters although your suppose to believe they are resourceful, cunning, smart seemed to believe things that they were told at face value and never investigated further. The writing was definitely able to pull me in and the story was entertaining enough to finish.
