After Hercules finished his tasks and became a God, Meg doesn't know her place by his side. She is just a mere mortal that would eventually die. But when offered the chance to be with her Wonder Boy, how far is she really willing to go.
If you have ever wondered about what if Meg had become a goddess, this is the book for you.
If only this review could be about how much I loved this book. Go the Distance was action-packed with romance sprinkled in and was quite possibly my favorite Twisted Tale yet. Calonita really brought out Meg as a character, most especially by bringing out Meg's personality and headstrongness. Meg was such an enjoyable character to read about because of this. She didn't give up with her trials and was willingly to do anything for love, which I found was exactly like her character in Hercules.
You know a books good when you can finish it in one sitting. I absolutely devoured this novel. It was such an amazing read that I had little to no trouble getting through it. There were actually only a few parts where I found that it was dragging on or that I didn't quite understand what was happening. And quite sadly, that was during the beginning. I just felt like the wording dragged on for a chapter or two, but it quickly picked back up when there was a new foe to fight.
Overall, I really found few problems with Go the Distance. (I love this title so much, Go the Distance is my favorite song from the movie) It ties in with movie really, picking up almost right when the movie ends except for a few changes. The characters were exactly the same from the movie, with their altitudes and all. Plus I felt like I got a new perspective of the characters, especially Meg when you learn more about her past love.
One last thing, you will most likely have to have watched the movie to understand what is going on. You can go in without previous knowledge but you may get a little lost. Just a pre-warning.
Thank you to Netgalley and Disney Publishing for giving me a chance to read Go the Distance.
