About this listen

‘An enchanting new twist on a classic tale’ Elodie Harper

When the snow falls, she will be free…

The invitations always arrive the same way – without warning, appearing around the city on the first snowfall of the year, simply inscribed with ‘Tonight.’

When struggling artist, Forster, finds an invitation, he’s bewitched by the magic of the evening, swept up in the glamour of this notorious annual party and intrigued as to who is behind them.

Determined to find out more about the mysterious host, Forster discovers an abandoned manor house silent with secrets and a cursed woman who is desperate to be free…

From the bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood, comes another spellbinding literary fairy tale that’s The Great Gatsby meets Swan Lake.

Tropes:

Finding the magic of Christmas

True love

Festive fun!

I love this author, and fell in love with her first book but this one was such a disappointment. There are far too many word, which just over whelmed small details. I found the book waffling a little, for the sake of filling pages. There was no substance to it, and I little boring.

Too much! And yet not enough!

If you liked The Night Circus and The Winter Garden, you'll probably like this - I didn't so think this style might not be much cup of tea.
I enjoyed the premise, and the overall story of Upon A Frosted Star, but got a bit frustrated with what began to feel a bit self-indulgent on the description/adjectives front, which coupled with some of the performance started to feel a bit much.

Enjoyable, a bit wordy
