This book had two very strong elements escaping the underworld with a lot of fighting and also a self exportation for Mulan about who she really is. I was more captivated by the second half of the book but did sometimes zone out in the battle scenes. But i did like how the underworld was used as setting, this was not my favorite read but one I did enjoy. * I would give this book for review 3.5* I found this to a fun take on the MULAN myth and really liked the question it tackled.

Das Buch entwickelt jedoch einen ganz besonderen Charm und durch die Einbindung der chinesischen Kultur und Religion bekommt das Buch einen einzigartigen und interessanten Charakter. Eines der Bücher, dass ich kaum aus der Hand legen konnte. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

What if Mulan had to travel to the Underworld? When Captain Shang is mortally wounded by Shan Yu in battle, Mulan must travel to the Underworld, Diyu, in order to save him from certain death. But King Yama, the ruler of Diyu, is not willing to give Shang up easily. With the help of Shang's great lion guardian ShiShi, Mulan must traverse Diyu to find Shang's spirit, face harrowing obstacles, and leave by sunrise—or become King Yama's prisoner forever. Moreover, Mulan is still disguised as the soldier called Ping, wrestling with the decision to reveal her true identity to her closest friend. Will Mulan be able to save Shang before it's too late? Will he ever be able to trust her again? Or will she lose him—and be lost in the Underworld—forever? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Reflection starts off with the Huns bearing down on the troops in the Tung-Shao Pass, but instead of Mulan getting injured, Shang takes the hit. He's dying, but China needs him so Mulan and the Li family guardian go to Diyu, the Chinese underworld to find his spirit and bring him back. I really liked a point where Mulan had to find Fa ancestors and whoops that's definitely a way to call into question Ping's identity.
Similarities to the 2020 remake:
-a lady enchanter
-Mulan considering who her "true" self is
Things Reflection does better:
-lady enchanter is a worthwhile opponent who goes on to do whatever she wants to do
-soldier camaraderie on screen, can differentiate characters
-actual Chinese mythology and values, as written by an author of Chinese descent
-references to the source material that don't feel shoehorned.
-Mulan ties her hair back when she needs to
-Mulan's strength is her cleverness, not magical qi.
I don't know if I would've rated this as high had I read it before the movie, but I still liked it plenty! ( )
