When Cassie was little her grandmother would tell her stories about the Arctic… stories about snow and ice, about a beautiful castle made of ice, and about her mother, who made a deal with the Polar Bear King and was swept away to the ends of the earth to become a prisoner of the trolls. Cassie is older now and has no time for fairytales and talking animals, or lies about her dead mother. Living with her father at the Arctic research centre, she is determined to become a leading scientist and researcher. But when Cassie comes face to face with a mysterious polar bear, one that defies all scientific fact or knowledge, she begins realise that the fairytales could actually be true. Armed with the knowledge that her mother might be alive, Cassie makes a deal with the Polar Bear King, and embarks on a dangerous journey against time to save her. But her agreement with the Polar Bear King comes with consequences she never bargained for, and before her journey's end Cassie will discover the true meaning of love and family, and loss. A compelling romantic fantasy set in the beautiful frozen Arctic.

This is another East of the Sun, West of the Moon fairy tale retelling. Although, more modern than my previous read, East by Edith Pattou. Cassie grew up in a Arctic research lab tagging polar bears. Like East, this was a fast paced novel. They cover a lot of territory in a short amount of time. Some parts of the book were sort of glossed over, but overall I devoured this book! It was an easy, fast read and I'm starting to enjoy this fairytale 😃

I first read this retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon years ago. It keeps pretty tight to the original framework while fleshing out heroine and the polar bear that comes to claim her.

I read this book a couple of years ago after getting sucked into the cover and the fairytale like synopsis. A girl, a polar bear King, a curse, you get the gist. It was fun and the end was well done, I'd say it's worth a read if you want to send your thoughts to the north on a hot summer day. 😉
