Told mainly from Meg’s point of view, I found myself rooting for Meg in a way that I hadn’t before. If Hercules parents loved him so much and went through all that to bring him home, why couldn’t they convert Meg as well? Go the Distance fleshes out Meg’s character in a way the original cartoon did not, giving life and depth to the choices she made both prior to meeting Hercules and after. It was something I had wondered as a child. What if Hercules wasn’t allowed to become human to live with Meg? Instead, what if the gods sent Meg on her own quest and allowed her to become a god? To me, this question needed to be explored. This time the story focuses on one of my favorites, Hercules, and twists the story at the end of the tale. Go the Distance by Jen Calonita is the latest installment in Disney’s Twisted Tale series. Can Meg put her past behind her and use her quick-wit to defeat monsters and gods alike, including the nefarious Hades? Will she finally figure out her place and contribution to the world? Or will her fear of commitment have her running away from an eternity of godhood with Herc? Written by the author of Mirror, Mirror and Conceal, Don't Feel, Jen Calonita's latest twist is sure to delight and surprise. The ex-boyfriend who immediately moved on to someone else while she was stuck in the Underworld. The ex-boyfriend she saved by selling her soul to Hades.
The mission? Oh, just to rescue her ex's current wife from the Underworld.
All Meg has to do is complete a mysterious quest. Luckily, Hera has a solution, offering Meg a chance to prove herself worthy of a spot on Mt. That is, until Zeus tells Meg that she can't be with Hercules because she's, well, mortal. What if Meg had to become a god? After Hercules proves he's a true hero and regains his godship, all seems right in the world.
