I haven't yet watched the live action Mulan movie, but I've been very curious about the actual legend of Mulan for quite a while. I'm so glad I read this book! The story was riveting and the descriptions were perfect. I was cheering for Mulan and Kai the entire time, and for a moment, thought there might not be a happy ending.
pickThis is easily the best book I've read so far this year. It heartbreaking and inspiring and beautiful. I meant to read this years ago, and I have no idea why I didn't. I love when main characters have red hair, because that's something I was bullied for all through school. It warmed my heart that Gemma didn't have to go through that. I'll definitely be reading this again, and adding it to my collection.

so-soThis book took me a long time to get into. I thought the story sounded very interesting, but I think the telling of the story itself left a lot to be desired.I don't remember ever learning about Katherine Parr, probably because some of King Henry VIII's other wives led more intriguing lives. I don't think I'll read this book again, but I'll definitely look more into her life.

Notable quotable: No one was innocent of darkness
A co-worker let me borrow this book, and it admittedly took me a long time to get into. Once I got into the second half, I couldn't put those book down. The characters began to make more sense, and the scenes began to come together. I wouldn't have picked this up on my own, but I'll definitely look into more books by Charles de Lint now!
