Excellent voice acting with clear and distinct characters; even alien voices were well done and believable.
Initiation weaves action together with a riveting story of personal growth, intrigue, and moral quandary. This book leaves you wanting more. Will definitely look for the author's other books.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

I may not have grown up on a mountain with extremely devout morman parents, but the author's story still reminded me eerily of my own. would recommend to anyone who is or has struggled to reconcile their past with their present and future (so essentially most people).

All her life, Mulan has trained for one purpose: to win the duel that every generation in her family must fight. If she prevails, she can reunite a pair of priceless heirloom swords separated decades earlier, and avenge her father, who was paralyzed in his own duel. Then a messenger from the Emperor arrives, demanding that all families send one soldier to fight the Rouran invaders in the north. Mulan's father cannot go. Her brother is just a child. So she ties up her hair, takes up her sword, and joins the army as a man.

Deep and insightful but pleasant read

The narration was lovely, with well done variation in voices and accurate pronunciation. The story itself tackled such topics as honor, service, family and cultural bias. topics which were handled tactfully, with a depth and insightfulness that was at once not heavy.
Most certainly, one of my favorite historical fiction pieces of the last decade.
the historical footnotes and afterward are also a delight!
In short, this retelling of Mulan, is the one I wish I had heard as a child.
