This novel is part of a long series and fits it well with the author's other works. The characters, MCs and supporting ones, are interesting enough to keep most readers going, although the flow of the story is not always consistent. Recommended for YA fans, readers who enjoy fairy tale adaptations, and people who prefer a clean read. Net Galley Feedback (  ) LibStaff2 | Sep 24, 2020 | I did a bit of sleuthing and found that Dickerson does fairy tale retellings in a Christian lit way. She never hangs it over your head, but I could see the Christian angle lots of times. It didn’t annoy me or skew the plot line. In this story, Mulan, (yes, Disney’s Mulan) is in Lithuania, and then her story continues pretty much according to the Disney plot. (Which is the most important thing- right? Who needs the original fairy tale?) There are some deviations, but it’s the story you’d expect overall. I feel like this book would be an excellent bridge for any reader who has outgrown Middle Grade, loves a long narrative but doesn’t want a typical teen love story. This is a squeaky clean romance that will not make your 12/13-year-old reader blush but will provide lots of fun popcorn reading. I think it would be fun to watch the movie again after reading this. What’s wrong with it? There wasn’t as much Asian influence as I had hoped and time seemed to be messed up in spots. Maybe because I haven’t read the other books? I’m interested in seeing how they all connect at some point. If you’ve read the rest of Melanie Dickerson's Hagenheim collection chime in and let me know if I should go back to Book One? Overall, a thumbs up from me. ( ) JennyNau10 | Dec 7, 2019 | sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML: She is expected to marry, cook, and have childrenâ??and instead she's sneaking off to war. Can she manage to stay alive, save her mother, and keep the handsome son of a duke from discovering her secret? The Warrior Maiden is a reimagining of the classic Mulan tale in medieval Europe. When Mulan takes her father's place in battle against the besieging Teutonic Knights, she realizes she has been preparing for this journey her whole lifeâ??and that her life, and her mother's, depends on her success. As the adopted daughter of poor parents, Mulan has little power in the world. If she can't prove herself on the battlefield, she could face deathâ??or, perhaps worse, marriage to the village butcher. Disguised as a young man, Mulan meets the German duke's son, Wolfgang, who is determined to save his people even if it means fighting against his own brother. Wolfgang is exasperated by the new soldier who always seems to be one step away from disasterâ??or showing him up in embarrassing ways. From rivals to reluctant friends, Mulan and Wolfgang begin to share secrets. But war is an uncertain time and dreams can die as quickly as they are born. When Mulan receives word of danger back home, she must make the ultimate choice. Can she be the son her bitter father never had? Or will she become the strong young woman she was created to be? This fresh twist on the classic tale takes us to fifteenth-century Lithuania where both love and war challenge the strongest of heroes. Praise for The Warrior Maiden: "In this fantastic retelling, Dickerson brings to life a completely new aspect of the medieval era . . . Discover castles, battles, beliefs, and injustices alongside Wolfgang and Mulan . . ." â??Hope by the Book Full length clean fairy tale retelling Stand-alone novel in the Hagenheim Series by New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson Includes discussion questions for bNão foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Writing this review is a struggle because I really don't know what to say about this book. For every thing that I liked, there was something that I was not fond of.
I loved the diversity and how Mulan grows throughout the story but I felt like her interactions with the other characters were scripted. . .a lot.
There was a lot of kissing in this book. I almost skipped to the end of the chapter. The romance was also super quick.
I liked the mentions of all the other books of the series. The family lines are explained in a clear manner but there were spoilers for the previous books of the series.
I can honestly say that I was a bit disappointed with this story, but it was still worth the read.
