Pegasus
Olympus at War*

This book is a
sequel to Pegasus Flame of Olympus.
This series is about the adventures of Emily and her flying horse Pegasus.
The characters
in the book that are from earth are Emily (a twelve year old girl who lives in
Olympus), Joel (Emily’s twelve year old friend), and Steve (Emily’s father and
a policeman). The characters from Olympus are Cupid, Jupiter, Apollo, Diana,
and Paelen. This story takes place in three places, the Nirad world, Olympus,
and New York. A narrator tells this story from third person perspective.
In this story,
Emily discovers her powers to shoot flames out her fingers in Olympus and takes
lesson to control it. But her dad is still held captive by the CRU**. She,
Palaen, and Joel fly on Pegasus and go to the CRU and rescue Emily’s father. Then
Emily gets captured by Nirads (four armed, ugly creatures) and is taken to
their world. But Emily realizes that the ones who are slaving the Nirads are
the Gorgons (the sisters of Medusa). The Gorgons then try to force Emily to use
her powers to kill Jupiter. Finally, a Nirad guardsman named Tange helps Emily
escape and kill the Gorgons.
I like this
book because it has adventure, fantasy and it keeps you turning the pages. If I
were the author, I would make Pegasus have a more important role because he is
the main character of the series.
I would
absolutely recommend this book and the previous book in the series*.
*Read Pegasus the Flame of
Olympus (the first book in the series)
** The CRU (Central Research
Unit) is a government agency interested in peculiar stuff.
