Narration Supposing Books Pegasus and the New Olympians (Pegasus #3)
I am miles and miles and miles away from being obsessive and compulsive, yet I do have a completion-ist streak in me. That is the only excuse I offer for continuing to read this series of books. It isn’t that they are bad, or horrible. There is nothing Meyer-Twilight-horrific enough to keep me reading because I just can’t look away from the wrongness of it all. But at the same time, this is not a good book.Action and adventure and flying horses. That’s why I read the first one. Why I read the second… well, it could have improved. It didn’t really, but it was more of the same. Enough to let me know that while this series of books was perfectly adequate for certain tastes, it wasn’t for mine. I like character. Well drawn characters. This does not have that.
It has a very simplistic plot and very simplistic characters. I don’t write that to knock the book. That is what it is aiming to be, I think and hope :) and there is nothing wrong with children’s books being just that. Of course the very best of children’s books have layers and complexity. This doesn’t.
It is a simple story, and it is told in an entertaining fashion. With battles and action galore. It has people standing up for what they believe in, occasionally they may not do the “correct” thing, but they try to do the right thing. So it’ll pass an afternoon, and I think that if I was a child this would be a book that I would love.

After I finished this book I wanted to read more! I can't wait to read the next book!!!This is a very good YA series. Lots of good life lessons, while coming to grips with the fact that you now have amazing super powers that can be used for good or bad It is empowering and sad, at the same time, as our hero Emily, realizes that she can kill the bad guys if she wants to. That's a heavy burden to place on anyone, let alone a teenager. I thoght that the author did a very credible job with this dilemna.Loads of action in this one. A good read.
Marked spoiler at the end, but otherwise a safe review. I give this 3.5 stars, rounding down to 3. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, this one just doesnt do it for me. Its been three books of the same enemy and while I still like Emily for the most part, her willful ignorance is beginning to grate on me.Shes been thrown headfirst into the world of mythology, sure, but shes practically worshipped by the Olympians. She recognizes her importance yet does she pick up a book to learn
I had not read the earlier books and quite a lot needs explaining to me still, after finishing this read. Where exactly is Olympus, how did Emily get there and how did she becomes beloved of the winged horse? The Olympians, the characters from Greek myth, need to partake of ambrosia - who makes this? Emily goes back to Earth because in a story line out of The Black Stallion, a wonder horse is burning up the tracks and it looks like Emily's winged horse. Then the small team she brings, discover
Synopsis: "When reports reach Olympus of a Pegasus 'double' sighted on Earth, suspicions are aroused. Emily and Pegasus must fly back to her world where they discover a sinister conspiracy that will pit Olympian against human in a war involving friends and enemies on either side."My Review: I rather enjoyed this series when it first started out but it has progressively gone down hill for me. While it is very creative in ways, I do get sick of the same old enemy that they are fighting, and the
This was definitely an improvement over the second book. I'm still on the fence whether it exceeds the original or not.One thing I have noticed is that with good storytellers, they often find a way for the protagonist to dig themselves deeper into problems before a resolution presents themselves. This book definitely had this...at various points, I wanted to beg Emily not to make the decisions she did. Often the mark of a engrossing plot.I will say that Kate O'Hearn addressed one of my big
I have already jumped into the next one.....very excited to see where this series is taking me.
