Hi, just wanted to say that your story was absolutely incredible! Everything was beautiful and I absolutely loved Elsa's backstory. The whole thing had me hanging on the very edge of my seat and screaming! Keep writing!

OMG! He gave up his Mother's ring for her?! Now that's true love. By the way I saw you tumblr question about thinking Anna was maybe ooc and I say absolutely not. She was a naive young girl desperate for attention and willing anything for love. Just mho.

How in the world do you pull off dark!Kristanna?! Magnificent.
I really liked the whole Bluebeard undercurrent. That's one of my favorite fairy tales. Anna was OOC for the first few chapters, but otherwise everyone was spot-on. Having Elsa be a victim of the mental health system of that time was an excellent way of creating the barrier between the sisters. The hydrophobia, even though it was just mentioned in passing, was a great detail to add.

At last I worked up the courage to read this! This was a really amazing start and such a long chapter that I really don't know where to start. But I'll try! One thing I've noticed is that often times when it comes to fanfic I find that writers don't pull off atmosphere very well. In a lot of fics I can never get a sense of space very well, but this was not the case with this chapter at all! I felt as if I could touch and see the setting in this chapter, it was so wonderful. I loved the backstory for this. My heart broke at Elsa's dwindling health, paralleled by the house's dwindling living conditions as well. The cobwebs, the dusty furniture—all of it felt very empty and isolated. Poor Anna and the parents, their confusion and pain was very palpable.
Anna is more openly resentful toward Elsa because of her distance than in Frozen, which I'm not sure how I feel about yet, but I don't dislike it. It feels believable in this setting I think. As dark as Frozen is, this story feels much darker. Have to admit that the "...I hate you," line did floor me though. So maybe she's more bitter than I was expecting her to be, but her wounds feel more fresh and raw in this? I'll wait to form my opinion about Anna and Elsa's relationship until I've read farther though. :)
My favorite exchange in this chapter is most definitely when Elsa sees the necklace Hans gave Anna. "It looks like a wound." Talk about most bone-chilling line! The imagery in such a simple line was so powerful, bravo!
Hans I can see is already turning out to be a creep and he's so easily snagged poor Anna into his claws. I'm wondering if Anna suffers some form of mild depression herself in this? There's no gates to bar Anna from interacting with people, but she doesn't seem to have friends and Gerda calls both of the girls distant and withdrawn so it seems Anna doesn't get out much if Gerda suggests Anna take a little stroll, which doesn't seem to be something Anna does that often... It's very intriguing so far and I look forward to reading the rest. This story feels so cold and desolate in a number of ways and I just really love that. Great first chapter and I can't wait to read more!

I loved this story but I'm still curious about one thing, what exactly was wrong with Elsa that she had to be sent away for so many traumatizing treaments and what caused it?

IT'S BAMBI'S MOM!
...Sorry, I've been conditioned(read:traumatised) to respond like that since I was five, when I first watched Bambi, and mum read Marjorie Rawlings's "The Yearling" to me... So I'm very glad that Kristoff let her live. Sorry, It's not really related to your fic(which, may I add, is AMAZING), but I just had to throw it out there.
Like I said, classical conditioning.
