Do I need to read the other books in the Twisted Tales series to understand this story?

This book functions as a standalone narrative, as each entry in the series explores a unique, independent "what if" scenario based on a different Disney film.

How does this book differ from the original 1998 film?

The story diverges at the mountain pass battle when Captain Shang is mortally wounded instead of Mulan, forcing her to enter the Chinese underworld of Diyu to save his spirit before sunrise.
