I'm not sure on the age for this
The cover art is beautiful and is what drew me to it. Being half Asian, anything dealing with the culture I am drawn to. Yes, this is a retelling but I feel made more updated and with women instead. I liked it but not loved it mainly as I kept saying, "This is for YA?" I cannot see my ten-year-old reading this. So many characters thrown at you so fast and then onto the whirlwind adventure, it was hard for me to keep straight, I cannot think how a young adult would keep this straight and still be engaged in the story. I do think the rest of it sounds good.
