This book is bad. The second half of the book is a slog to get through, the pacing is slow and nothing happens for big chunks of the time.

Finished this Mulan retelling last week for March‘s #FairytaleReadingChallenge. The premise of Mulan‘s character being non-binary was really interesting, but I found the execution to be flawed. The story was transparent and tedious. In fact, this book sent me into my first major slump of the year and I have yet to find my way back out. But at least I completed the challenge for March! @Charityann

gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 I wonder if it‘s as good as it looks! 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Now we‘ve done 7 days of cover love perhaps we should do 7 days of covers we don‘t love! @eadieb (edited) 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 That would surely be interesting! @gradcat 5y
gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 Seems like an idea is brewing... 💡 5y
EadieB @gradcat I would probably have to post a sexy romance cover! I hate those! 5y
gradcat Me too...the ones where bodices are bursting? 😂 5y
gradcat @EadieB & @Andrew65 You guys are too much!! 😂♥ï¸ðŸ¤£ 5y
Andrew65 As well as sexy romance, also the historical romance covers! @EadieB @gradcat 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Any explicit romance covers are definitely the ones we hate! @gradcat Basically we like gore, blood and guts! (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Give me Murder and mayhem anytime above sex and eroticism. @eadieb 5y
julesG 😂😂😂 @gradcat @Andrew65 @EadieB should you decide on doing a round of ugly covers, I'm in. 5y
EadieB @julesG OK I'll let you know but I do have a few more nice covers to post. 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Ditto moi! 😂 5y
gradcat @EadieB I think ugly covers might be more difficult, but I‘m in whenever you‘re ready! â™¥ï¸ 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat how about ugly or boring! @EadieB 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Ugly or boring would be good! @Gradcat @julesG 5y
julesG @Andrew65 @gradcat @EadieB I see you ugly and boring, and raise with off-putting. 5y
gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 @julesG All of the above, perhaps? 🤷ðŸ½â€â™€ï¸ 5y

My life has been spent in search of a decent retelling of Mulan. The Hand, The Eye and The Heart is it. It treats our main character‘s gender identity sensitively, something I want more of in YA.
.
Hua Zhilan is brought up a girl, a Banner Breaker with the ability to cloak herself in any form. When her father is called to war, she refuses to let him sacrifice himself for his family, and instead, assumes the Banner of Hua Zhi, her Male ‘twin‘.
