About The Book:
Sixteen-year-old Iduna harbors a dark secret. On the surface, she is an Arendellian village girl, an aspiring inventor, and the best friend of Prince Agnarr, but she is also secretly Northuldra. Ever since the day the forest fell, Arendellians have despised and distrusted Northuldra with a vengeance. No matter that the Northuldra-along with some of Arendelle’s own-have been trapped in the Enchanted Forest behind an impenetrable wall of mist since the day of the battle.
Iduna doesn’t know why the mist refuses to part, or why it descended to begin with. The only clear thing is that she must keep her identity from everyone, even Agnarr. Her life depends on it.
Fortunately for her, Agnarr doesn’t know that Iduna is the Northuldra girl he saw seemingly flying on a gust of wind all those years ago, the day of the celebration turned disaster. The day Agnarr lost his father, the king. The day Agnarr himself almost died.
What Agnarr does know is that Iduna is a true ally in the face of his royal responsibilities and the expectations of an overbearing council and a well-meaning regent who will rule in Agnarr’s place until he turns twenty-one and assumes the Arendellian throne.
As Iduna and Agnarr grow ever closer, however, friendship is no longer enough. If only falling for each other didn’t mean risking their futures: Iduna’s as a hidden-in-plain-sight citizen of Arendelle, and Agnarr’s as imminent king.
But for a chance at true love, the risk might be worth taking.
“Frozen fans and romance lovers will fall for this endearing tale.” — Kirkus Reviews
“An…enthralling read; one that left me feeling like there is no other way Iduna and Agnarr’s story could be told.” — LaughingPlace.com

Review:
I absolutely adore the Frozen movies, and when I saw this blog tour, I knew I had to sign up! Frozen 2: Dangerous Secrets: The Story of Iduna and Agnarr is such a fun read if you love the world of Frozen and the fun and lighthearted atmosphere! it does heavily reference both movies, so I would hold off on reading this until you’ve seen both films. I love that you get to know more about Elsa and Anna’s parents, as this book focus on the story of the King and the Queen of Arendelle. The reader grows up alongside the future King and Queen, seeing their friendship blossom and experiencing their respective heartbreaks and secrets. I enjoyed the author’s writing for this book and the pacing. The author did a wonderful job of telling the story of the parents from when they were 6 to when they have their daughters, and it fills in the gaps that the second movie kind of skips over.
It is also really fun because you already know how the story ends and now you are reading how they got there. Overall, if you need a short funny, relatable, read–or are a Frozen fan–this is the perfect book for you!
