Reflection by Elizabeth Lim
3.0
This book is pretty much official fanfiction, and I was living for it. It's pretty fun and I appreciate how Disney got Elizabeth Lim to write their Mulan fanfiction AU twisted tale, she did a great job preserving the cultural elements that the story deserved and makes Mulan, well, Mulan.
I'm a little disappointed because I expected this book to delve a little bit deeper into the characters and explore Mulan and Shan's relationship more. (The movie is after all, only 90mins and how dare Disney get me so attached to two fictional characters that I barely know then butcher their sequel?)
Instead Reflection had a heavy emphasis on adventure and new trials (basically plot) which is cool, just not what I was expecting or looking for. This might also be me projecting my fanfiction experience onto this book, in which case I apologise.
