Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow was about what I've come to expect from a fairytale retelling. It was magical and whimsical, but with a certain softness and lack of depth. Not necessarily in a bad way, just...innocent? It's hard to describe, but this isn't the first fairytale retelling that I've gotten the same vibe from. 
 This book was a very quick read; I finished it in just a few days. The pacing was good. Nothing was overly detailed, however. There's the mystery of the missing servants, but their disappearances happen quickly and without any dark foreshadowing. There's the romance aspect, but it's very minimal, sweet and innocent. Even the true nature of the curse seems a little glossed-over. You don't even know the heroine's name OR the name of her love until the story is almost over. However, it doesn't FEEL like anything is missing. It feels like a fairytale. And that's just the nature of fairytales. The read was still very enjoyable. It COULD have been fleshed out more, of course. The girl and the prince could have had more of a relationship. The troll princess and the queen could have committed more terrible deeds. Cryptic messages, frightened glances, or shadows in the night could have preceded the servants' disappearances. But Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow just isn't that kind of book. It's short, it's sweet, and it's a little bit magical. Plus, you can't go wrong with a heroine that can speak with animals!
