This version of the Mulan story chooses to focus less on Mulan disguising herself as a soldier and her exploits while doing so than on her childhood and upbringing and what would have and could have made her choose to disguise herself as a boy to save her father. It also puts more of a love story into it although that feels a bit shoveled in considering that not only does Mulan say several times in the book that she does not ever want to get married but we do not even meet the main love interest until about three-fifths of the way through the book and then suddenly Mulan falls in love almost immediately.
