I really enjoyed this retelling. I think it took an interesting take on the Mulan legend but I also got lost at a few parts. I’m also very confused as to what will happen in the second book of the duology with how this ended. Felt very girl power forward obviously but I loved how she was still able to have a romance but also had such a strong spirit and voice. The war tactics often confused me as well as some of the names being similar throwing me off. But overall I had a good time!
