Reflection is the fourth book in the Twisted Tales series by author Elizabeth Lim.
What if Mulan had to travel to the Underworld?

Captain Shang is mortally wounded by Shan Yu in battle, Mulan must go to Hell, Diyu, to save him from certain death. But King Yama, ruler of Diyu, was not willing to give up Shang easily.

With the help of ShiShi, Shang’s great guardian lion, Mulan must traverse Diyu to find Shang’s spirit, face the harrowing obstacles, and leave before sunrise – or become a prisoner. benefactor of King Yama forever. Furthermore, Mulan still disguises himself as a soldier named Ping, grappling with the decision to reveal his true identity to his best friend. Can Mulan save Shang before it’s too late? Will he ever be able to trust her again? Or will she lose him – and be lost in the Underworld – forever?

This story is mainly based on the Chinese Hell myth:

“Mulan doesn’t know if she should be surprised or scared. After all, this is her first time meeting a god. To her surprise, Yama doesn’t glow like his subjects, and he He doesn’t look like a devil, however, his appearance is monstrous.

Wrinkled face, rosy cheeks; His eyes flashed a fiery red and gold. His neck was as thick as the trunk of a willow tree, and his wild black hair was so thick that it rivaled Shi Shi’s mane. When he rose, as he did now, the top of his heavy golden crown disappeared into the darkness above, and his black and emerald robes spilled down the steps across the table. his work.”

This is a great read on mythology as well as a sequel to the Mulan story. I appreciate it remaining culturally correct rather than being westernized as a princess fairy tale ending. I will read more from this author.
