And finally someone posted the summary of all 10 stories from "All is Found: A Frozen Anthology". I'm not going to give spoilers here because I want the book in hand to see if there's anything the person didn't say, but for those anxious here's the link (https://www.reddit.com/r/Frozen/comments/17rptd3/spoiler_breakdown_of_all_is_found_a_frozen/).

But some observations about the anthology:

Really Honeymaren, Ryder and Yelana are apparently not mentioned

The northuldra tale is a story told by the northuldra about romance that takes place before Iduna and was being told to her (before Iduna was adopted by Yelana's tribe or after? It's not clear from the summary, but probably after), and that she will use the lessons from the tale years later in her relationship with Agnarr

The Southern Isles are sometimes mentioned, but just like in the Disney park the nobles of the two kingdoms seem to be in complete harmony, really the problem with the Southern Isles was just Hans

Welcome Elsa to the group.

Elsa: Which group?

Lesbian characters who praised a man's physical appearance at some point in their lives and "fans" began to use that phrase to disparage their sexual orientations.

Vi saying that Jayce is a "pretty boy" in "Arcane"

Ellie saying that Jesse is "handsome" in "The Last of Us part 2"

Anna in "All is Found: a Frozen Anthology" in the tale inspired by "Wandavision" says that the random guy Elsa danced with is "handsome" and the blonde apparently agrees

And I ended up buying the anthology.

I had thought about not buying the anthology as a form of protest after this answer that Mari Mancusi gave me:

I had to insist a lot for her to give me that answer. And I still find it curious that I asked about Honeymaren, Ryder and Yelana, but she only mentioned the brothers. Although she has already written about Yelana in "Dangerous Secrets", only the brothers were mentioned in "Polar Nights" (if the theory that the Sámi tribe have some influence on the Northuldra participation is true, I have the theory that they have more influence in Yelana than Honeymaren and Ryder who don't even have Norse names).

I was very frustrated with "Polar Nights" for the way they treated the tribe and thinking that maybe it would happen again angered me. A tale dedicated to mythology and it's over, really? Can they have any highlights other than this? It could happen, Mancusi's phrase just makes it clear that they won't have something focused on (Honeymaren and Ryder's childhood or something like their mission in the "Disney Magic Kingdoms" where they meet Arendelle and Hans, and Ryder reveals himself to be an ElsaMaren sender), but I doubt it. Anyway, I literally decided now to pay to see it.

And even if at most Honeymaren and Ryder are only mentioned (yes, my ignoring Yelana is not accidental), but there is one more married lesbian couple in the franchise (the third) or even a few more sentences from Elsa defending romance as happened in "Polar Nights " will already please me in a certain category.

ALL IS FOUND | Kirkus Reviews

A collection of 10 new stories in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Disney film Frozen.

Some spoilers.

[ericmicael]

The Northuldra Arendellian family welcomes new member: "All is Found: A Frozen Anthology".

I've always been more interested in Elsa than Anna, since I identify with the Snow Queen because of her arc in “Frozen 1”, but waiting for the book “All is Found” to arrive made me understand Anna more, especially the 13 years she waited behind the door.

Buying “All is Found” in pre-sale was the decision I regret the most to date involving the internet, and especially the fact that I decided to believe in the store's support. Pre-ordered in September, the book was released in November, but until January nothing I did made them finally open the door and let me in. 'Excuses, explanations and false hope were all I got until things got so far over the top that I couldn't take it anymore.

Imagine Anna discovering one day that in fact Elsa during these thirteen years was not so isolated and while she kept the door closed for her, she opened it for a maid with whom the snow girl started dating? Great for Elsa, disappointing for Anna. That's how I felt when I discovered that a friend who purchased the book through normal means in December received it first than me while they continued to tell me that they didn't have the book available to send to me: great for my friend, a slap in the face for me.

After that, I canceled the order and purchased it again through normal means on January 15th, and the book arrived on February 2nd. I wonder if I still tried to insist on pre-sales, would I have received it sooner or would I still be behind the door today having to actually wait for those thirteen years to pass… The second option is much more likely.

Am I being exaggerated? Maybe, but it was really a traumatic experience that made me review my pre-sale purchases in a somewhat drastic way.

I don't have a problem with spoilers, so much so that I already knew all the stories in "All is Found", the things that I would like to read the most and that I would like to read the least. In fact, I admit that for a moment I almost became a stalker because of the way I investigated to discover the content of this book, and I even hesitated to buy it when I discovered that to this day the only media that developed the Northuldra Tribe after "Frozen 2" it remains a mobile game. But I still decided to give this book a chance, I'm a fan, what do I do?

But I'm not going to fall for that anymore. I'm only going to buy the franchise's books now on pre-sale when I actually have confirmation that there will be something I can't miss so that in case I'm made a fool of the store again for months, it's worth it. Things like Elsa's interactions with the Northuldra Tribe, especially with Honeymaren, which if what happened in that mobile game is canon, I wonder if there would have been a wedding in Arendelle/Enchanted Forest before KristAnna's wedding.

And if I never have it and the franchise continues to disregard things, will I buy it normally? As I said, I'm a fan, so in the end this store's incompetence with me just made me postpone the things I want to buy regardless of whether they give me what I want or not, but I hated being made a fool of and the feeling it gives me It really made me rethink the way I spend money on this franchise (it even makes me understand a little Hans fans who hated “Frozen 2” because the film made the fate of the Disney version of Ramsay Bolton clear and started attacking those responsible for movie on social media, although I obviously don't agree with these people who are even worse than the character they are fans of).

Why is this so FUNNY

Line is from "A Midsummer's Song and Dance" in All Is Found: A Frozen Anthology! This story is so damn funny

[ericmicael]

Two questions about the Frozen anthology:

Will there be a new married lesbian couple?

Another character whose name is a variation of Eric?

If there is a new lesbian couple I will have to update my requests from ElsaMaren (Elsa and Honeymaren) to be the 5th and 6th lesbian character to be the 7th and 8th lesbian character.

And Eric has already become a personal meme for me since there are 5 Erics in the Frozenverse, the most famous of which is the Duke of Weselton's mustachioed guard.

Erik guard version

Eric child version

Eryk musician version

Erik ship captain version

Eric the sisters' great-great-grandfather version

All that's left now is for them to combine the two things and have a lesbian Eric, it wouldn't be the first time, aka Eric Randolph from "Long Night Comes".

Why does Disney want to bingo all variations of Eric when they usually only repeat the same character name once or twice? I don't know, but it's funny to have this personal joke.
