![]() However, I’m sure anyone more familiar with Chinese folklore and mythology can confirm how accurate exactly better than I could. While I am not as knowledgeable about Chinese mythology and folklore, I do think there is accuracy in Reflection. And her going to Diyu to save Shang is a concept that I feel works and adds a nice extended fantasy element to the story. Shang being mortally wounded instead of Mulan is an interesting spin on the fight in the mountain. The concept of this story was really interesting to me. It’s a lighter toned take on the myth, and fits the tone Disney would probably take with it, had they done so. However, I do love how Go the Distance explores the Hades-Persephone dynamic. Not only because it’s based on one of my favorite Disney movies and my favorite Disney princess, but because I found it the more interesting of the three. ![]() Out of the three I’ve read, I’d say Reflection is my favorite. I also have A Whole New World (Aladdin), Part of Your World (The Little Mermaid), Tale as Old as Time (Beauty and the Beast), and Almost There (Princess and the Frog) on my To-Read list. Of the twelve books currently published, I have read three of them: Go the Distance ( What if Meg Had to Become a Greek God?), What Once was Mine ( What if Rapunzel’s Mother Drank a Potion from the Wrong Flower?), and the topic of this review, Reflection ( What if Mulan Had to Travel to the Underworld?). They are an interesting what if type story on Disney movies, and I don’t believe they plan on stopping anytime soon (there isn’t anything expected after Almost There, but I’m sure the series will continue after Almost There, and I have heard a rumors about a Pinocchio book). It currently has twelve books out ranging from several princess movies like Aladdin, Frozen, and the Little Mermaid (among others) as well as other Disney movies like Alice and Wonderland and Peter Pan, and has a thirteenth novel based on the 2009 Princess and the Frog movie coming out in September. The Twisted Tales series is a series that takes beloved Disney classics and gives it a spin with a single question.
