I don't usually go for Disney things, and I know the story is twisted in their special way but this is a beautiful edition 😍

I found this copy of a folding (left to right) scroll book of the legend of Mulan while looking for poetry books for my niece 😍

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.

My next read is inspired by Mulan and has a really gorgeous book design.

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. 🤔 6mo
Meshell1313 I absolutely loved the Lux series! Enjoy! 6mo

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.

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.

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.

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.
