review 1: Since I seem to be on a fairy tale re-telling kick recently, I decided to go with Mulan's story. (Truthfully, I found the book used, for a great price, and couldn't leave it there. ;) I've been curious about Ms. Dokey's books for a while now and I have to say she didn't disappoint me! Mulan feels more real than just a simple fairy tale. And while things happen pretty quickly, I was rapt enough to be unable to put it down. Most definitely a great story! And now I'm anxious to try some of her other re-tellings. :)
review 2: A light and quick read, retelling Mulan's story.There are various interesting differences between the story I knew and this version, notable among them the fact that Mulan grew up without her parents and had friends who helped her through her ... moreadventure.Apart from the extra flowery dialogue at some parts I really enjoyed reading this book and will probably try a few more of the series' books. less
