This is a beautiful story that explains the message: Sometimes Love Forces Us to Make Difficult Choices.

All in all I think this is one of the hardest Serendipity series books since the story is so hard to swallow. A young winged horse that has been introduced in some other Serendipity stories (if they are about the same character) leaves her home and finds herself with a herd of actual horses. And there she falls in love and ends up with foal.

As a result the young winged horse is told by a mare she won't be able to fly until she has her foal and then she will die if she stays. As if bad news wasn't bad news enough she is told that she may or may not be able to keep her foal since of its double heritage - mortal and magical.

What I don't like is the fact that the mother ends up worrying herself and focusing on just the baby being able to go with her or not. There is also no mention much of the father nor of his feelings once the foal is born.

In my opinion this would be the type of story where the mother would want to stay with her meadow mate and foal then when perhaps he die she would try to make it home. Or that maybe, just maybe, she would allow her love to ground her but again we aren't told all the details of the information that the old gray mare is wise about.

Beautiful book with a surprise end for the foal Glitterby Baby.... ( )

The message of this book is somewhat confusing and a bit disturbing, but it may mean that love can still exist and a family can still be a family even when they are apart. ( )
