It took me a minute, but as the story progressed, I loved the fairy tale aspect of the story. It gave Elsa a connection to each of the characters her grandmother sent her to learn more about, in a context she could understand. Once she saw where they fit in the fairy tale, who and how they were became more clear… both to Elsa and to the reader.
