Conceal, Don't Feel

A Twisted Tale

By: Jen Calonita

Narrated by: Rachel Matthews

What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other?

As the future queen of Arendelle, Princess Elsa leads a life full of expectations and responsibilities—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 her 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—fragments that include a 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.

Voice Actor & Writing

I enjoyed how this book stayed true with details of the original story. It was fun to hear some famous lines being used in a new way because of the new circumstances of this story. You see more into Elsa's mind and how she felt like a monster. I will admit I was hoping the story would be a bit darker though; understandably, it's still Disney though. The voice actor did great. My only addition would be a male VC to voice the male characters.

Better than the movie for the most part

I really enjoyed this story! Something about it felt more interesting compared to the original movie. I liked the way things played out. It was believable for the most part. I really enjoyed the mystery behind it, even though it could’ve been shortened a bit. Also, Kristoff and Anna’s relationship works better without Hans around so I think it worked better here than the movie.
