Charlotte May's Reviews > Upon a Frosted Star

Ok, so I loved the premise. In a Manor House in the country a most secret and extravagant party is thrown every year.

Forster and his best friends Rose and Marvin are always on the look out for the elusive invitations which tell of the theme and date of the next spectacular event.

The parties are thrown by a mysterious woman, who usually turns up to perform a ballet dance before melting away into the shadows.

Who is she? Forster becomes entranced and infatuated, determined to know more of this girl.

Once we know of Etta’s secret I felt it started to drag, it was very piney - Forster is constantly yearning and whining. And yes it was unfair, such is life, but I got a bit tired reading about it.

And then the ending (view spoiler)[ Forster finally finds the person responsible for cursing Etta and when he tries to reverse it he turns to ice! So Etta remains a swan except during snow fall and Forster continues to live there with her and pine. (hide spoiler)]

All very dramatic and a bit too much for me. But then I’m basically dead inside 😂
