I’ve been eagerly anticipating this book for a long time now. How gorgeous is the Australian cover? After the nail-biting cliff-hanger at the end of Goddess Interrupted, I couldn’t wait to see how the final war between good and bad was going to play out.

Kate’s been held captive by the evil titan Cronus and his sinister and sneaky goddess queen, Calliope, for the past nine months. Now the baby she never imagined she’d have is ready to be born. Kate’s maternal instinct kicks into overdrive and she does the unimaginable – she makes a deal with Cronus for the safety of her baby. For her and Henry’s son, Milo.

It surprised me how much I enjoyed the ending to this series. Kate’s grown up a lot since the first book and is now taking responsibility for her actions – as well as stepping up to the plate and accepting her role on the Olympus Council. She’s still prone to a little exaggeration and hysteria but I found her more likeable than I had in the previous instalments.

I loved meeting new characters and seeing the old ones again. The plot managed to keep me interested right up until the last page having action and drama happening on every page. There’s betrayal and misdirection with Kate never quite sure who she can trust. There’s mystic and an ending that I never expected. The romance was sweet and didn’t manage to consume the entire novel but rather made the read all the more worthwhile.

I’ve finally given up trying to work out the family tree. It’s too ridiculous – and I suppose in that way this book does somewhat represent an ancient myth. Everyone’s related to everyone and somehow you can be your own aunt on both sides with your mother also being your aunt and sister-in-law… it’s just plain crazy!

Overall, this series was worth reading. It brought a whole new twist onto the Persephone/Hades myth and evolved it into an entirely different story. If the author ever decides to write a spin-off where James finds his true love, I’d definitely check it out!

Great ending. I can't imagine the ending to be any different. Calliope sure is a bitch, man. She got what she deserved. There were enough casualties so that it didn't seem to cliche but not an exaggerated amount a la George R. R. Martin.

Can't believe I read the whole series in all of two days. Smh, I think I have an addiction to books now.

Finally a good book! Something actually happened and Kate Didn't constantly whine about how bad Her life is, but did something about it. She is still pretty stupid and realizes things ages after everyone else, but that's okay. I've never read anything about the titans, but it felt as if the gods were humans and the titans were gods, because the titans acted so much godlier than the actual gods.

The plot was sufficient but the I-love-you's were so repetitive that I got so bored every time it presented itself. She made it seem as if they were humans. Ugh. That's just not how gods roll. -_-

Kate doubts herself too much and her narrative was a bit too redundant at times.

I read somewhere The Goddess Test series had ended, FOR NOW. Does this mean we can expect some kind of spinoff with, maybe Milo as the hotshot? LMAO
This is promising.


Review to come.
