When Pegasus crashes onto a Manhattan roof during a terrible storm, thirteen-year-old Emily’s life changes forever. Suddenly allied with a winged horse she’d always thought was mythical, Emily is thrust into the center of a fierce battle between the Roman gods and a terrifying race of multiarmed stone warriors called the Nirads. Emily must team up with a thief named Paelen, the goddess Diana, and a mortal boy named Joel in order to return Pegasus to Olympus and rescue the gods from a certain death.
Along the way, Emily and her companions will fight monsters, run from a government agency that is prepared to dissect Pegasus, and even fly above the Manhattan skyline—all as part of a quest to save Olympus before the Olympic flame burns out.
My Opinion:
Well here it is; another mythology books. This book is about the Greek gods, but as their Roman counterparts. I liked how this book didn't really focus on the major gods- Athena (Minerva), Zeus(Jupiter), Poseidon (Neptune), etc. Also, this book involved the government. That was a big twist, I've never seen these two mixed together before. I really liked this book. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
