I very much enjoy books that are fantasy and in a mystical realm, so this review really makes the book appeal to me more than it already did. Strong female characters are also always a bonus!!

This sounds like a really well-developed book, with great imagery and great quotes! I also like the fact that there are good descriptions, as it helps with immersion. Great editing is also a plus. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds really good! And like a perfect gift for the middle schoolers who grew up with Frozen. This is a very thorough and compelling review.

I love the cover of this book! It sounds like a very well-written story. I am not a fantasy fan, and I try not to read anything revolving around magic. So, I guess that keeps me from reading this one! However, I am sure fantasy lovers will be thrilled with this one! Thanks for the wonderful review!

This is giving out major frozen vibes. I mean one doesn't remember anything and the other is the queen of ice.

You provided a spectacular summary and analysis of the book. Turning someone into “an ice sculpture” must be a nice show. Am persuaded to read this classic tale about the princesses.

I like a good blend of magic and fantasy, especially when it is set in a mystic world of beauty and magnificence. Katja and Amara seem like quite the characters too. This is a winner in my book.

This book looks like The School of Good and Evil and sounds like Frozen. It seems like a cozy read, but I doubt that I would like it.

The cover immediately caught my attention and sparked my interest. I really like the tale of two sisters and their bond despite the one's amnesia. As soon as you mention ice queen though, I start thinking of Disney's Frozen. Still, this might be a good book for me to pick up.

This most certainly looks to be a thoroughly charming book. If I were a young girl I'm sure I would gobble it up. I only wish my own daughters were still young so I could recommend it to them. The author's writing style is lovely and enchanting and I hope she finds an appreciative and enthusiastic reading audience. Congratulations on achieving BOTD!

Sometimes, a little dose of magic is needed to take us away from our current reality. Thank you for the lovely review!
