Go the Distance
by Jen Calonita
An alternate ending befitting epic Greek mythology!
Hercules has conquered the Titans and is on his way to Olympus with Meg by his side. However, Zeus deems their relationship a fling and demands Hercules stay on Olympus as a god and parts ways with Meg. Unable to sway his father, Hercules prepares to lose the woman he loves when his mother, Hera, offers Meg a chance to become a goddess! The quest is no easy feat and requires Meg to confront the traumas of her past which put her in Hade's path. With the help of Pegasus, Phil, and a few gods, Meg journeys to the darkest parts of Greece to help a soul she never hoped to meet.
An enjoyable alternate ending that deserves a movie, if Disney were to be so bold. The themes will resonate with readers who have faced hardship where family and romance are concerned. Meg's journey is very self-reflective and may persuade readers to reflect on their own personal experiences. Fans of the films will be excited to catch the many references to the film and experience new stories with old characters. The romance is mild due to Meg's stubborn ways but is very entertaining nonetheless. The three major plots are exciting and reminiscent of epic greek quests. The emotions portrayed in the story were very organic and older readers are sure to appreciate the detail.
I would readily recommend this to readers interested in strong heroines, Greek mythology, and of course dramatic romance.
