Inevitably, this will be compared up down and sideways to "The Scorpio Races." But you know what? I liked this one all by its own merit. SR is a completely different book, with a different tone and message. Titans has strong, interesting characters - not just the main character, but her friend, her sponsors and mentors - everyone. I love the challenges she overcomes, and I love the idea of a metal friggin' horse.

It's not one of those books that will change your world, or burrow inside you forever, but it's a good read, better than many, and hell, the fact that I still remember anything about it three months after reading it says something.
