"Once upon a Time" Is Timeless Wielding a sword as deftly as an embroidery needle, Mulan is unlike any other girl in China. When the emperor summons a great army, each family must send a male to fight. Tomboyish Mulan is determined to spare her aging father and bring her family honor, so she disguises herself and answers the call. But Mulan never expects to find a friend, let alone a soul mate, in the commander of her division, Prince Jian. For all of Mulan's courage with a bow and arrow, is she brave enough to share her true identity and feelings with Prince Jian?

"I was really torn between loving this book and feeling nothing but apathy for it. While the storyline is solid and compelling, it seemed as though it was missing chunks. Prince Guang is presented as a villain, but doesn't seem to demonstrate any real threat towards anyone. The battle scene is really built up and then all of a sudden it's just...over. It was just a bit of let-down. But, that being said, I stayed up pretty late (or early) to finish reading the book. Flaws aside, Dokey writes with a certain style that just seems to flow from page to page. I am a bit hooked on this series now."
