As others have mentioned, the sisterly bonds, coupled with powers that control ice, remind me of Frozen . However, this story seems to weave in other mysteries and your review certainly helped me see some differences. Thanks for a great review.

Awakening by Tayma Tameem is an interesting book with a great storyline. I want to follow up the story of the two princesses. In that case, I will consider reading it. Congratulations on the BOTD. Nice review!

Am I the only one who looking at cover was reminded of Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett? Well, some strange variation of it where both Aziraphale and Crowley are females. Sorry, but after this thought I was unable to perceive any info about current book itself, because I just wanted to put it away and therefore have nothing more to say.

This sounds like a magical fantasy that reminds me of an adult version of many beloved fairy tales that I read as a child. I also find the princess's power of ice magic very alluring to me, and I will be interested to read it to discover how she loses her memory. Your review us very concise and colorful.

This book is like a spoof version of the book and movie "Frozen," and is very intriguing all together. This will find a spot on my bookshelf.

I love a good fantasy and magic, it is rare to find siblings where one has magical powers while the other doesn't. I look forward to reading this. Congrats to the book of the day.

I'm sure all fans of "Frozen" will be delighted to read this fantasy novel relying on sisterly love, a kingdom in danger, and a girl's magical powers to change everything into ice. Thanks for a detailed review!
