Quite a few thoughts. Loved the art! I haven't read many mangas, but I thought the expressiveness of the characters was excellent and a lot of fun, I'm sure young readers love it! And the details are stellar. They tried very hard to make the parts of the story told through song stand out against the rest of the book.

I'm not sure the story adapted well to manga. It brought to light how rushed some of the plot is, and the emotional moments felt a bit lost since you weren't able to dwell on them in the same way. In addition, there were a few areas where I wasn't sure I would have known exactly what happened if I had not seen the movie - which is not good. This is surprising since I've found that movie-to-book adaptations are usually quite good. I wonder if it's a medium or adaptation thing. 

Nothing new was added, it is basically the movie beat for beat. I've always enjoyed it when novelizations have a bit more meat, it gives you a little bonus for reading the books and often allows for explanations and the inclusion of cut scenes/ideas, although this can result in a better story. Again, this made me wonder if this was not the case because of the rush of the production. Watching the movie, it feels like there were too many chefs in the kitchen, and this exacerbated it since it feels like it jumps from plot beat to plot beat. The ending feels like an entire section is missing when Elsa just goes off into the forest and it left me with more questions than the films: how does everyone feel about this, especially Anna? She spent all of the first movie wanting a connection with her sister now her sister just left. Maybe they were leaving it open for a sequel, but it's so messy that I feel bad for whoever has to make one.

But I do believe the real seller of this is the art. Again, it is stunning. I love it. I want my own copy.
