Review of Pegasus by Marissa Libbit for Reader Views
“Pegasus” by Marilyn Holdsworth is the fictional journey of the main character Hannah Bradley as she uncovers a mystery surrounding her rescued horse Pegasus. As a writer, Hannah covers stories about animal abuse which leads to her desire to rescue wild horses. Upon the adoption of Pegasus, she discovers his true identity and connections to a black market ring involving the slaughter of wild mustangs. Helping Hannah with her quest to save the horses is her love Win Caughfield.
I really enjoyed “Pegasus.” The characters are very likable and well drawn out. Even the nefarious characters are entertaining because they are just so easy to dislike. Hannah is a true heroine who knows what she wants and how to get it even with potential harm in the way. Win is a tad too perfect in a Prince Charming sort of way, but who doesn’t like a good fairy tale? Pegasus is also an enjoyable character, and his recovery scenes were endearing. The action moved the story along well, and the storyline kept my interest. When a story stays with me after I have put a book down and I look forward to picking it back up, I know it’s good. My only critique is that the ending was a bit too “pretty” in that everything tied up a little too easily in my opinion, and I had hoped for a bit more drama. Overall, though, it was a nice, easy read. I recommend “Pegasus” to anyone who wants a good story to take them away for a few hours, whether a lover of horses or not. You will enjoy the ride, much like an easy canter through the field on a nice, spring day.
