All and all loved this book. It added a nice ending to the Disney Hercules story. It picks up right at the last scene of the animated movie and alters one aspect of that scene which creates a new plot line. It was well written and gave us back story into a character from the animation we where kind of missing and closes some of those questions you might have had with them.

What happens your boyfriend is a new minted god and the only way to be with him means you have to go on a quest yourself in order to become a god? Well, Megara is about to find out. The story follows the evens right after the disney movie, except now Zeus is bot allowing Meg and Herc to be in a relationship and Hera offers her a chance, go on a quest and prove herself worthy enough to become a god. Said quest involves facing the ex that she sold her soul off to and rescuing the soul of his wife. The entire story is just about getting to know Meg more, particularly her coldness and detachment from relationships.... I understand that it was scaring for her but goodness gracious it felt as if it was a one sided love story with Herc. He was supportive and sweet and Meg was... angry and distant. The book really delves into Meg’s past romantic relationship and how much she is still hurting from it. I loved Meg in the movies, she was sassy, morally gray, and a great character, but for some reason the book just didn’t capture her that well, and I found myself disliking her. The star of this book for me though was.... WE GOT PERSEPHONE AND HADES!!!! I would love an entire book on their relationship. I absolutely ADORED IT!! The tiny bits with them made me give the book an entire extra star, in fact I would love just a book about their relationship... seriously the cover of this book made me think there would be more Hades in here. Anyways, this was an interesting look into Meg, but more specific into Hades and Persephone.

A week after finishing the book and I barely remember enough to write this review. I enjoyed Meg’s reunion with Phil and Pegasus however I did not enjoy the plot of her becoming a goddess. It did not make sense and cheapened the book. The goddess of vulnerability? Really??

I’ve been collecting these Disney twisted tales books for a while now and this may be my new favourite of the series.
Having loved the Original Disney film this was a very sweet ‘sequel’ I guess you could call it to the movie. Go the distance picks up from the end of Hercules and follows Meg on a quest to become a goddess and live with Hercules for all eternity.
With lots of references to Greek mythology throughout, this YA romance / adventure story was surprisingly moving.
“If one truly wants to live, they need to open their hearts to others, and I have. No matter what comes next for me, I know now I loved and was loved in return”
