Ilustration Supposing Books Pegasus (Pegasus #1)

UPDATE! 1/3 of A BOOK ALERT!

HALF A BOOK ALERT!!!

I thought I would get this out of the way first. Truly, there was not even an attempt to wrap up anything in this novel, not even temporarily. Pegasus ended mid-scene, mid-conflict, almost mid-sentence. It will be quite a laugh if McKinley never finishes this sequel.

Now onto the story itself. I was glad to be back to the old-school princess-fairy-tale McKinley, after the genre detour Sunshine was. If you ever read fantasy written by the author, you already know the key elements of her stories: meticulous, imaginative world building, a young, strong heroine who has to come to terms with her own powers and grow into her responsibilities and attain self-confidence, friendships with animals, magic, all accompanied by the most gorgeous writing. All of this was in Pegasus.

The moment I opened the book, I was completely enchanted by the world McKinley had created and by the words she used to describe it. The centuries-old alliance between humans and pegasi, their complicated communications, binding rituals - all of it was so new, so unique, so detailed and well thought-through. And then the moment Ebon, the main character's Sylvi's bond-mate, entered the picture, I totally fell in love with this naughty, outspoken, mischievous pegasus. And the way MckKinley described Ebon tumbling into Sylvi's window, or spreading his wings, or a tiny pegasus playing with Sylvi, it made me grin in delight. McKinley just has such a genius way with words, I can't explain it.

But (of course there is a but), as much as I loved the world building and gorgeous writing, it just wasn't enough for me. It wasn't that the book was light on plot, but like in all McKinley books, the plot was driven by the main character's internal struggles and growth. And again, it's fine by me, generally. I loved Harry's personal journey in The Blue Sword, but that book was only 270 pages and Pegasus - 400 and only half of the story. I don't know about other readers, but I can enjoy luscious, descriptive and reflective writing for only so long, at about page 200 I want some action, and so happened here. By the middle of the book my attention started to waver and I began skimming a bit, trying to get to the end or at least some excitement faster. Basically, it seemed the narration got a little too indulgent. For what the plot was, the book was way too long. I could literally summarize the entire novel in one paragraph. I would have enjoyed it much more if the whole story only took one 300-page volume to tell.

I can see how Pegasus's reviews can be all over the place. Fans of McKinley's writing and those who enjoy leisurely, slow paced quality of it, will love the novel, and rightfully so. Those who prefer books with more action and despise being left with no resolutions, will hate it. I am somewhere in the middle. At this point I am moderately interested to know how it all works out, but will I still be in 2014(!), when the sequel comes out?

Write-Up Out Of Books Pegasus (Pegasus #1)

Pegasus was readable, to me, but I didn't come away very impressed.I did like it better than (my memory of) Dragonhaven and Chalice. It's less rambling than Dragonhaven (which isn't saying very much, but everything McKinley writes is rambling to some degree and I think Pegasus is in the high, but tolerable range) and it's less ... vague? than Chalice.Structurally, "vague" and "rambling" are still good words to characterize Pegasus with. McKinley does most of her exposition by interrupting

Gorgeously written? Hardly. This book was frustrating to read. It is normal for writers to veer off the point of their sentence to briefly explain something, but to write a whole book on constantly veering trains of thought? Was this book edited at all? I'm not a stupid reader but I certainly felt like one, reading this. I could have given it two stars because the plot was good, good enough for me to finish all 404 pages, but that would be because I was considering the cover art and the general

An avid fan of Robin McKinley, I picked this up at my library expecting good things. Frankly, after The Blue Sword, The Hero and the Crown, Deerskin, Chalice, ETC., I looked past the silly title, expecting to delve into an excellent story. However, the book fell completely flat due to one huge problem: it lacks a plot. Detailing the irritatingly mundane life of Sylvi and her pegasus, Ebon, the book only establishes their relationship and builds a world. Studying creative writing in college, it

Well, what can I say...?I was lucky enough to borrow an ARC. I realize that that is a privilege and I really don't want to hurt sales for one of my favorite authors. BUT, I really didn't enjoy this book, largely because I took a strong dislike to the heroine. This has been my least favorite book of McKinley's, topped only by Deerskin which I found too painful to re-read due to its subject matter. I was really looking forward to this one!BTW, I knew going in that this was going to end on a

I like the IDEA of this book, but the execution was lacking, which for me was a disappoint. Robin McKinley is a wonderful writer and one of my favorites, but her last few books have had something lacking. This is another case of that in a lot of ways.First the good:The world she describes is amazing. I loved the descriptions of the characters, especially the pegasi. I loved the protagonist and her family, they were all very sensible and down to earth for a royal family. I like the fact that the

I liked this book, but that's not much of a surprise since it was written by McKinley and I tend to adore all of her books. The thing is, about Pegasus, is that if you're going in to read the story with an air of fast paced happenings and something very plot centered, then you're going to dislike this book. Reading Pegasus is more like the reader is being submerged into the world and the character's lives more than anything else. Oh, there is a plot, of course there is (and a wicked cliffhanger

"My Little Pony" for smart girls.But still.I've read everything Robin McKinley has published, I'm pretty sure, and 'The Blue Sword' is in my top-10 favorite books of all time.I was really excited to read this book - and it wasn't horrible, but it was rather disappointing and mildly annoying. I might have liked it much more if I were eleven.In a far-off kingdom, for centuries, an alliance has held between the humans and the pegasi, who cooperate to fight off an assortment of evil and dangerous
