ghendrian 's review for:
The Magnolia Sword: A Ballad of Mulan
by Sherry Thomas
3.5*
Loved the setting and historical details of this book. The martial arts and individual duel scenes were great, too. Approaching the story as a tribute to wuxia was such an awesome choice. I just felt like the falling action/resolution were too easy and convenient. There were also a few moments where very modern vernacular threw me out of the time period a bit. Overall, a really solid and fun retelling of the legend of Mulan that I enjoyed reading.
