I am a tenth of the way in and I want to DNF this. The writing style does not jive with me at all. It feels like it's really trying to be twee and quirky, but honestly feels like a middle schooler's attempt at that style.

Thoroughly disappointed the title isn't a pun. Anyway, if *I* was the ice harvesters, I'd be having a crisis about how my queen could literally just put me out of a job on a whim, but I guess I'm not supposed to think that hard about it. All the characters are in character though aside from Elsa letting the sleds sink what the heck and Olaf isn't TOO annoying thus far.

So far, this is feeling like... maybe a 3 star? Like, this book is beautifully written and I know that for someone in the universe this is THAT book for them. But that person just isn't me. Maybe a 4 star because I'm nice? Idk.

Finch is cool aside from the fact that for some reason he has a tattoo and Budweiser decor despite being 16 also and that’s... not normal.

Something that really irks me about this book is that the teenager characters are written like they’re in their 20s. The main character is 16 years old and an ex-smoker who’s been getting drunk since she was 14 at oldest and works in a bar. She claims the only reason she hasn’t held down a job before is because of being on the move when she’s 16. She’s also kinda judgy but not to her kidnapper???

I like to read awful books sometimes. That explains why my want to read section looks like garbage. I like to read good books too I swear.

Okay it’s definitely an AU. Dialogue changes (which are really cheesy) prove that alone.

Phillip is good. Unfortunately the king and queen suck and are ungrateful about Aurora being a girl. I can’t tell if this is character assassination or if this is where the AU really begins.
