"Their legs seemed as slender as grass stems, and the place where head met the neck was so delicate a child's hands could ring it; they moved as if they weighed nothing at all, as if they might float away, even without spreading their wings. And no human could ever take their eyes off a pegasus' wings."
-Pegasus by Robin McKinley, pg 129

Honestly, this book has been gracing my bedroom floor for the past six months or so. Though after scouring it for a teaser, my interest has been perked.. I love the tagline "Because she was a princess, she had a pegasus...", not to mention that mythology is my favorite topic!via Goodreads:
Because of a thousand-year-old alliance between humans and pagasi, Princess Sylviianel is ceremonially bound to Ebon, her own Pegasus, on her twelfth birthday. The two species coexist peacefully, despite the language barriers separating them. Humans and pegasi both rely on specially-trained Speaker magicians as the only means of real communication.
But its different for Sylvi and Ebon. They can understand each other. They quickly grow close-so close that their bond becomes a threat to the status quo-and possibly to the future safety of their two nations.
Have you read Pegasus? What did you think?

I've not read Pegasus yet. I've only read one review and it wasn't a positive one. The book sounds really good though from your teaser.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written - it's almost poetic. My teaser is here: http://t.co/BDzjq2v
ReplyDeleteI also have only read one not so great review of the book. But from the description offered by your teaser, I think I need to at least give this book a shot. I love mythology and magical creatures.
ReplyDeleteI have never read the book, but your teaser was great!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds good, I like the teaser and I hope you enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog:-)

That quote really is beautiful. I can definitely understand that your interest has perked after that; I'm already interested, haha. Never seen that book before, actually.
ReplyDeleteO awesome teaser!
ReplyDeleteI really need to try this one day.

I love Pegasus! It's one of Robin McKinley's best books--at least, out of the ones I've read. :) (I was a bit shocked by the ending, though. It was completely unexpected.)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good teaser. Not the type of book I'd pick up, but I'm definately going to check this out.
