It was a little slow at the beginning and there may have been too many flashbacks/ exposition towards the beginning but other than that it was amazing
I love Mulan inspired books/ retellings because she’s my favorite Disney character and the storyline has so many possibilities
Very very good book, definitely picks up a lot after getting the backstory stuff out of the way (but it also weaves the history into the rest of the book and it’s very good).

Minor: Death of parent and Murder

A group of us read this book for bookclub and we were able to discuss themes of hidden identity, healthy vs toxic relationships, how gender effects identity, and how the past structures the present. We also had a great time trying to predict what would happen next since we met a few times in the middle.
This book has no cursing, sex, or graphic violence and would be fine for any age.
Moderate: Animal death and Animal cruelty
