I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book- but I adored it. The first third of the book is definitely a Mulan retelling, but I’m not sure the other two thirds can be described like that. It’s much deeper and darker than Mulan when keeping to other Asian myths such as the Weaver and the Cowherd. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining, insightful take on an old story.
