desertcart.com: Reflection: A Twisted Tale eBook : Lim, Elizabeth: Kindle Store

Review: At the end of this book, I wish it were in the canon-verse of Mulan. - Okay, this book sent my little shipper's heart all a fluttering! I'm going to be brief with this review because I don't want to reveal spoilers, and in the fact of that there's SO MUCH that happens in this book. I will tell you guys right up front, this book pays homage and does its predecessor justice with its twisted retelling, where it sends your Mulan X Shang shipping heart all the feels. It's a fanfic come to life! The story takes place after the battle on Tung-Show Mountain, where Mulan as Ping shot their last cannon at the mountain causing the avalanche that obliterated Shan Yu's army. Instead of Shan Yu striking Mulan, Shang leaps in front of her and takes a fatal blow. From there on, facing the possibility of Shang dying from the wound, their descent from the mountain becomes weary. One night, after Shang's condition worsens, General Li's spirit comes to tell Mulan that there is a way to save his son's life. After that, Mulan finds herself in Diyuu, the Chinese version of the World of the Dead, where she strikes a deal with the Underwold ruler himself, King Yuma, that if she can find Shang and escape Diyuu before morning, Shang will live. Mulan, Shang, and the Li family's guardian, Shishi, go through tremendous obstacles throughout Diyuu, where all of them must face both inner and outer demons; Mulan especially. There's even the big reveal of Mulan's gender in this story, in which I find myself favoring over the movie's version of it. And the relationship between Shang and Mulan is just as invigorating as in the movie itself, and even more so in this book. At the end of this book, I wish it were in the canon-verse of Mulan.
Review: Fantastic retelling! - For the longest time I’ve been debating whether or not to read the Twisted Tales from Disney. Typically, I’ll read any Disney related book, but the first two books in the series got such mixed reviews, that it deterred me from picking one up. Then the Beauty and the Beast one and this one came out and they got better reviews. So I finally decided to try one out. I’m so glad I did because this was really good! First off, I was really happy that Disney choose a Asian author to write this book. I think #OwnVoices literature is so important. You can tell that the author knew the culture so well. She did a great job incorporating the Chinese underworld and mythology into the story. I also have to give the author major props for doing her homework. It was very clear that she watched the direct-to-DVD Mulan 2 movie. There was one part where Shang says, “Perhaps when I marry, I’ll combine the ancestral temples so my bride won’t have to leave her family” (175). That is exactly what ends up happening in Mulan 2. When I read that line, I immediately remembered that part in the movie. Since the book starts during the battle against the huns on the mountain, I was happy that it still referenced earlier events in the movie. They were woven into the story nicely. Overall, I just think the whole book was so well done. From the writing style to the incorporation of mirrors and reflections, it hit all the checkboxes.
