A review by sienaro
Reflection by Elizabeth Lim
4.0
What happens in the afterlife has been a mystery and a fascination of humankind from the beginning of complex thought. From Dante’s inferno onward, many people have theorized in a fictional setting what may be the goings-on in the underworld or heaven or hell or reincarnation. Reflection gives us a window into some of the beliefs of the Chinese and the afterlife that Lim has imagined.
Its beautiful, poetic, and at times emotionally stirring. The book is well written and the characters are just as we know them from the classic Disney film. The one problem is this book has a slow start where a scene of Mulan is retold, but merely in a novelization format with no twists. However once you get past the first 50 pages or so, you’ll be delighted to read about Mulan’s adventures in the underworld.
