7*******This is the fourth book in the Pegasus Series. I absolutely LOVED it!Emily is The Flame of Olympus. She thought she was an ordinary girl, but she is very special. She is a fantastic character, who has faced many challenges in the previous books and triumphed. When her beloved Olympians become ill, she embarks on her biggest adventure yet.I have a soft spot for Emily and Pegasus, and when I heard that this book was due for release, I immediately pre-ordered it! This is a fantastic adventure, filled with danger and amazing twists and surprises. In this story, we are taken on an amazing journey through time and space. We get to meet the Titans as they battle with the Olympians in ancient Greece. The action is intense, and we meet a lot of new characters including Stella and Vulcan. Emily makes a shocking discovery in this story that changes her life once again. I found myself getting rather emotional in places, as there are some very sad scenes, but there is also a few witty scenes that had me smiling. I struggled to put this book down, and was disgruntled when I had to! I love the imagery created by Kate O'Hearn, as it felt like I was actually there.Kate O'Hearn has created a world for Pegasus and the other Olympians that is completely believable. I love her writing style, which is very descriptive and flows beautifully. She is now one of my favourite authors. I love this series, and I hope there are more adventures to come! I highly recommend this book, and series, to children of 11+ and adults alike, as this is one of the most exciting stories I have read in a long time. - Lynn Worton (WaAR)
Pegasus: Origins of Olympus (book 5), Kate O'Hearn - I didn't think it possible but this series for young teens and up just got better with Kate taking an imaginative story to a whole new lever. I agree with others who proclaim this is the best book of the series. Roman gods do battle the ancient Titans to save Olympus and Earth from destruction but its the added elements that expand this theme and create a truly AMAZING tale. An ancient power, the solar stream, and collective memory carried the characters into new realms of possibilities that made me wonder what could possibly come next. Two things I would like to see happen in book 6 -- The healing of the one character that obviously needed it and, as others have voiced, the pairing up of the main characters. I really don't see how Kate can possibly top the events in this book, but I can't wait to find out. I love Kate's economy of words. Her descriptions don't drag with detail but there is enough to visualize the scene. Characters thoughts and reactions are clear many times with only subtle hints. Her storytelling flows naturally with out seeming complex or confusing when in truth there are so many things happening I would be lost without her sure footed guidance. Kate is truly an author to examine and admire for her gifted writing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this escape to a WONDERFULLY imagined world of battle, suffering, and love where magical powers can heal and return what was lost. Thanks so much for sharing your stories. ----- Author, Diane Gronas, Starseeker
My Thoughts: I'm a big fan of Emily and Pegasus. I flew through this series and have eagerly awaited each book as they come out. However, I always feel there's something almost... off.... with this writing. There are just a lot of editing mistakes that continue to pile up. For example, random hyphens at the end of sentences. Am I the only one that's realized this? It doesn't make a huge difference in the story itself, it just degrades it a little.Anyways, I love Emily's character. Her emotions add to the strength of this story as does her love for Pegasus. Every new page I read, I become more and more curious as to what other secrets Emily contains. Her stubborn quality is enjoyable to read, too. Joel and Paelen's characters weren't as apparent in this book, but I still loved hearing their lines, even if it felt more as side characters to me. Riza... was complicated. I get how she was used almost as foreshadowing, but there are times when I thought she could of been done without. Huh. Agent B was brilliant, and I liked how O'Hearn added Agent T (Tom) and Alexis back in.The concept of this story is incredible. In some ways, I love this series more than Riordan's books because of the creative twists to Roman mythology. O'Hearn took the Roman gods, the idea of Olympus, and created something completely new and ingenious. This series is worth reading for just that and has given me a lot of respect to what the author is trying to accomplish. Every addition to the story seems to slide in perfectly and works beautifully, even if it's not very believable. The plot was well executed and kept suspense and mystery up, and my brother loved the battle scenes. I would recommend this book, as well as the series, to pretty much everyone, but with a caution that there are a lot of editing mistakes that take away from the story, if only slightly.
My daughter who is 9 just LOVES this series!! There is a little too much blood/etc. for me. We are lucky to have a daughter whose lexile score is high, but what comes with that is content that can be a little questionable. All in all, she reads and has advised me that she would recommend this book series to everyone! :-D
