The royal couple originally made very little impact with the Queen only having a single line of dialogue and she wasn’t even given a name! In this book, they’re fleshed out so much more and their relationship with their daughters feels solid and real, making it even sadder once their ship is lost at sea (I hoped it wouldn’t happen, even though I knew it had to, that’s how invested I was in them). What made this a great read was how much more depth was given to all of the characters, regardless of whether they were major or secondary. Some of the scenes take place in a near-identical fashion to the movie, but with the sisters being swapped around, for instance, Hans starts off courting Elsa instead of Anna. If you go in expecting it to unfold very differently, you’ll be disappointed, so keep in mind that the story will remain familiar despite Elsa and Anna being raised separately, with Elsa remaining at the castle to be groomed as royal heir and Anna being adopted out to a kindly couple who run a bakery in a remote little town.

The main thing to know is that the series of events don’t stray too drastically from the movie. I’m a grown-up who is ridiculously fond of Elsa and has bought every single funko pop of her character, so when I had the opportunity to review ‘Let It Go’, an alternate version of the movie in which Elsa and Anna never grew up together, I grabbed it with both hands! This is my first experience with the Disney series of ‘Twisted Tales’ and I really enjoyed it. 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.ĭetermined 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. What type of ruler will she be? When will she have to pick a suitor? And why has she always harboured the feeling that some critical piece of herself is missing?įollowing 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. What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other?Īs the future Queen of Arendelle, Princess Elsa’s life is full of expectation and responsibility-not to mention, questions.
