This book was a fun extension of the Mulan story! Specifically focusing on the various elements of the afterlife from Chinese mythology. It has the structure of following the various trials taken on by some mystical hero tasked with defying the gods. This structure is not usually my style which is the reason for the below-4 score. Like at some points I was just thinking, "aNOTHer roadblock?" But it definitely fits the story that the author wanted to tell.
This book truly gets you into Mulan's head and you understand why she is the hero because of how clever she is.
The reader, Emily Wu Zeller really sounds like Mulan at some parts which makes the book feel like a movie since the voice the author writes her in is so in character.
And honestly y'all, just read this instead of watching the live action remake. The female antagonist is actually done quite well here.

I assume the cultural references were legit, since I lack the knowledge, and specifically enjoyed the dreamlike shifting truths and reality.
Plus, a sweet ending for *all*.
