Honestly, this was much darker than I expected. It wasn't bad by any means either. Ultimately, it was too repetitive for me, and Anna was overly clueless and self-involved at times. She somehow makes every little tragedy about her. The major conflict is wrapped up in a super anti-climactic way in one sentence.
That being said, I don't want to judge it too harshly. It's a book that bridges the gap between two Disney movies, so it met my overall expectations for kid lit. I had fun reading it too. If the amount of Anna's inner conflict that was written had been cut in half, she wouldn't have been as frustrating, so I think it's mostly an editing thing. I really loved all the new characters too.
