Okay, I remember a little more of this, not much, but something. I had mixed feelings when I finished. I wouldn't say I liked it, but I wouldn't say I hated it either, I'm somewhere in the middle. Mulan is one of my favorite childhood tales, so there was no question I would read this book. 

I fell in love with Mulan even more than before; her endurance, strength and stamina, in a word, the perfect word is concentrated in her. Mushu the dragon was not present this time, but there was Shishi the great lion guardian whom I think I really liked. 

The plot was interesting; It was a mixture of Chinese underworld and mythology, which I was happy to get to know. The pace may have been a little slower than it should have been, but the excitement and adventure made up for it. It got a nice closure and overall was bearable.
