I've read and thoroughly enjoyed middle grade books before but unfortunately this book just never really grabbed my attention.There's plenty here for people to like from the pegasus to the legend and many horse lovers will enjoy this book. I wish I had more to say but this book really just wasn't that interesting for me.
Another recommendation from my son. I had hoped it would would rival Gregor the Overlander or Percy Jackson; not even close. This book is geared toward younger readers. Keeping that in mind, it is written for a younger reader, but the sentences are choppy, and paragraphs jump from one thought to another very quickly with little to no transitions. There are too many characters- all pegasi - that have compound names. It was at least halfway through the book before I could keep track of at least

This book is not a happy one. It may be marketed for middle schoolers-8 and up-but, seriously, I have to say the subject matter is VERY controversial. You might be thinking, "Oh, Pegasus! That's so friendly and for kids!"Hate to say it, but children's books usually are some of the most morbid shit you will come across.If you are familiar with the Warriors by Erin Hunter you will notice right away that the way the character's are named are practically identical. In fact, I am wondering if this
So, this is a pretty violent book for an elementary level reader. Like, we're talking full on implied rape(to be fair, I probably only picked up on this because I'm older than the target demo. But it's still implied), genocide, fairly graphic (describing the sound of a spinal cord being broken, the rush of blood after a killing blow, etc) fighting, and the entire premise is based on the idea of a horse dying violently before it's first birthday. It's also pretty full of tropes that are kind of
I have to thank the awesome Janicu for sending me an ARC of this book! Yay! You can check her book review blog here: www.specficromantic.com (which is also awesome!).Im sure you guys all know by now but I LOVE horses and all thing equine, which extends to the mythological side too. So when there was a book coming out about pegasi (is that the right plural?) I just had to read it!Starfire is a fantastic book. I really didnt have much expectation for it and was a bit worried when we were just

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.This is a children's/middle-grade story about a black foal named Star, who was destined to be either a 'destroyer' or a 'healer'. He would find out by his first birthdate. Some of the Pegasi in his own herd as well as other herds were afraid to wait to see which one he'd be and were intent on executing him. This is an action-packed story with really good plot development. There were a lot of 'cutesy' names for each Pegasus - Echofrost, Grasswing, TwistfireI've read and thoroughly enjoyed middle grade books before but unfortunately this book just never really grabbed my attention.There's plenty here for people to like from the pegasus to the legend and many horse lovers will enjoy this book.
