The Night Ends with Fire
The Night Ends with Fire | K. X. Song
9 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
Infused with magic and romance, this sweeping fantasy adventure inspired by the legend of Mulan follows a young woman determined to choose her own destiny—even if that means going against everyone she loves. The Three Kingdoms are at war, but Meilin’s father refuses to answer the imperial draft. Trapped by his opium addiction, he plans to sell Meilin for her dowry. But when Meilin discovers her husband-to-be is another violent, ill-tempered man, she realizes that nothing will change for her unless she takes matters into her own hands. The very next day, she disguises herself as a boy and enlists in her father’s place. In the army, Meilin's relentless hard work brings her recognition, friendship—and a growing closeness with Sky, a prince turned training partner. But has she simply exchanged one prison for another? As her kingdom barrels toward destruction, Meilin begins to have visions of a sea dragon spirit that offers her true power and freedom, but with a deadly price. With the future of the Three Kingdoms hanging in the balance, Meilin will need to decide whom to trust—Sky, who inspires her loyalty and love; the sea dragon spirit, who has his own murky agenda; or an infuriating enemy prince who makes her question everything she once knew—about her kingdom and about her own heart.

Posting this here but I‘m selling this Goldsboro special edition of The Night Ends with Fire by K.X Song, it‘s never been read, I don‘t like or care for Romantasy, it‘s a Mulan retelling. My daughter shattered her phone and she needs it replaced but I don‘t have the extra money to do that and she needs a phone because of her Cheer activities
I‘m look for $50, this covers what I paid PLUS shipping US only.

People have strong opinions about this one! While the author didn‘t distinguish her story inspired by Mulan from the Disney version as much as she likely wanted to, she did add a new twist to the dragons, a question about the price of ambition, and a love triangle. Occasionally dense but almost always entertaining, I enjoyed this book even if I can‘t say it was a great one. Reads more YA than adult but generally a quick, fun read. Soft pick.

Fairyloot is very blue in July. I got my adult fantasy and romantasy boxes the same day - The Night Ends with Fire and The Wren in the Holly Library.

Here are two other beauties that came out today! 🥰 You can't tell from this picture, but both of them have absolutely gorgeous page edges!

Obsidian is the first book in a series that actually came out quite a few years ago, but I think they are now being rereleased through a traditional publisher! 💕📚

PurpleyPumpkin I just heard about this book! The idea that it‘s being based on Mulan has me intrigued. 🤔 7mo
Meshell1313 I absolutely loved the Lux series! Enjoy! 7mo

This novel is all about ambition and power – what would you do to get it and what would it cost you – were very central to the plot and character motivations.

Meilin leaves her family to join the army out ambition and a desire for autonomy. She wants to find a place for herself and not be defined by the men around her. A dangerous ambition as a competent woman in the realm of men upsets the social order.

⬇

PuddleJumper What stood out for me was that the character thought about the consequences of her choices, what would happen if she stayed, what would happen if she was discovered, and still made the choice to disguise herself because it was the only way to get what she wanted and that was worth the risk.

⬇ 9mo
PuddleJumper The book is split into three parts and each part was paced differently which was a bit odd. The second and third parts were a lot faster pace and there wasn‘t much development during those sections. The first part felt more developed as time was spent setting the world up and the characters.

⬇ 9mo
PuddleJumper I thought the book lost its way in the middle a bit. The introduction of the situationship triangle didn‘t fit with the rest of the book and felt very awkward. I hesitate to call it a love triangle as none of the parties actually loved or liked each other.

⬇ 9mo
PuddleJumper It was still an amazing book that gripped me from the start. I loved the magical element and the world building, each kingdom had its own history and culture that were distinct, most of the characters were fleshed out and the family and friendship relationships felt organic, it was just the romance that was weird.

Would definitely recommend to people that enjoy historical fantasy.

First book I've requested from #Netgalley

I've avoided requesting any books because I feel pressured to read and review them quickly 😂 I really wanted to read this one though and thankfully I got approved!

Already 25% in and loving it!

Inspired by the Mulan story, a corrupt nobleman's daughter is used as a political pawn, forcing the young girl to flee across China during 923 AD. Disguising herself as a male soldier, she enlists in one of the armies involved in the Three Kingdom War where she encounters magic, romance, bravery, honor, and gender politics in this epic read.
