Pegasus

Pegasus

Robin McKinley

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Because she was a princess, she had a Pegasus… Princess Sylviianel has always known that on her twelfth birthday she too would be bound to her own Pegasus. All members of the royal family have been thus bound since the Alliance was made almost a thousand years ago; the binding system was created to strengthen the Alliance, because humans and pegasi can only communicate formally, through specially trained Speaker magicians. Sylvi is accustomed to seeing pegasi every day at the palace, but she still finds the idea of her binding very daunting. The official phrase is that your pegasus is your “Excellent Friend.” But how can you be friends with someone you can’t talk to? But everything is different for Sylvi and Ebon from the moment they meet at her binding—when they discover they can talk to each other. They form so close a bond that it becomes a threat to the status quo—and possibly to the future safety of their two nations. For some of the magicians believe there is a reason humans and pegasi should not fully understand each other…

    So if this had come out withen I was 12, it would have been on my BEST BOOKS EVER list, but alas I am much older now. I think the main flaw of this one was that it was impossible to keep everyone and every horse straight. Other than that I enjoyed it very much, especially the glimpses into pegasus culture.

    Enjoyable read, but still waiting for the rest of the series. If you love other books by the author this is a must read. I think I'll give it a go again.
