this was a really interesting premise. olympus is invaded and only pegasus and two human teens can save it and the gods. unfortunately, it wasn't as well done as I hoped. in many places the language plodded along making the story seem to limp and stutter. it just didn't have a smooth delivery. the

First of all, I don't know any Roman Olympian named Paelen so this book didn't appeales much to me unlike Percy Jackson's. Uh, I didn't mean to compare it but you know, you just can't help it if you really like that series. >_

human, not a demigod... er... yeah. Then as I've mentioned, Paelen, is the other MC. Anddddd... There's Pegasus too! Pretty cool that he's also included there.

I like the Greek's version rather than the Roman Myth. So I know I might be biased about it... But still... Apparently, I've got lots of compassion since I got teary eyed quite a lot of times. :/ I felt bad foe the horses too. :(

Hey, Pegasus is not a Horse... A Stallion then? What's the difference, they're both horse to me. ;) Oh don't let Diana know I said that. She might wring my neck. :o I actually remember Percy cause Diana could talk to Pegasus. :)

A pretty good read, once I started it, it grows on you. 4 stars.

Pegasus: The Flame of Olympus is incredible! Ever since I read this book , Katie O'Hearn has been one of my favorite authors of all time. The story of this book are so descriptive, it feels as if nothing else in the world matters.

I was given this by the publisher and was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it. Very much a Percy Jackson for girls. I do prefer Percy Jackson but this is highly commendable and just gets better and better as it goes on. Well worth read.

A fast-paced story for younger teens who enjoy horses, mythical beings and adventure. An enjoyable read.
