SPOILER FREE REVIEW
I rated it 4/5 stars
| It may have mixed reviews but it all comes down to how the reader feels about the story. It's a loose retelling of the Snow Queen, but regardless whether you know anything or nothing about the story you'd still find this book entertaining. It took me a while to get into this book, but soon I found myself reading more chapters everyday and the feels started to kick in. It was a bit unexpected. There are twists to characters, plots, and mixed emotions. Nothing really surprised me nor caught me off guard but I still enjoyed it very much. The world that Danielle created is really something, especially the different kinds of magic in their realm. There wasn't much information drop to confuse the reader, it was just right. I am so glad I crossed the Tree, and I would very much like to read the next installment. I want to see more of Jagger and the different back stories of the Robbers.  |
