For a beautiful tale of friendship, family, and cultural understanding and challenges, one must rush to read Robin McKinley's PEGASUS. McKinley, known for her lush depictions of fantastic tales, does not disappoint.
In PEGASUS, McKinley creates a gorgeous world in which nobility and honored aristocracy are linked by tradition to a pegasus. Magicians translate, with difficulty, for the pair in their traditional, but awkward, pairing. From the start, the headstrong pegasus Ebon and his princess, Sylvi, have broken the rules and defied authority. They don't need a translator to communicate and just want to be friends. With threats encroaching their land, the pegasi and humans do not need internal dissent, but a magician bent on dividing Sylvi from Ebon creates a distraction.
PEGASUS is an amazing book that makes one desire an immediate printing of a sequel.
Because of a thousand-year-old alliance between humans and
pegasi, Princess Sylvi is ceremonially bound to Ebon, her
own pegasus, on her twelfth birthday, but the closeness of
their bond becomes a threat to the status quo and possibly
to the safety of their two nations.
