* 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. 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.
