I'm definitely liking this series more and more as it continues. Honestly, I wasn't into the whole greek mythology/Gods/Goddesses aspect but it's beginning to grow on me. I without a doubt like Goddess Interrupted more than the Goddess Test.
My Thoughts:
1. I enjoyed reading about the characters in Goddess Test, but in this book I was so frustrated with everyone. I grew tired and frustrated waiting for everyone, other than Kate, to grow up. I definitely admire Kate's courage and bravery to stick around..if it were me I would have given up long ago seeing how others just tossed her aside.
2. The plot is really engaging and it was fun learning the history behind Greek mythology. It was sometimes predictable but never boring.
3. The ending. The book ended with a cliffhanger...I only hope that the next book makes up for the suspense, otherwise it would a total let down to the series.

Good book, and I love the twist Carter has put on the gods and the mythology rather than another retelling of Persephone and Hades. Everything moves quickly, and I have to constantly remind myself that this is YA and that's why it feels faster and why a lot of it has to do with her thoughts and feelings and her misunderstanding of things and the people around her. She jumps to conclusions and is terrible at communicating, but she's 19 so of course that's how she is! But I will say Kate is pretty insufferable since all her problems could be solved by just talking to Henry.

a Cute read, but I was constantly finding myself irritated with the main character and her desire to martyr herself.

It was just okay. Nothing realy interesting happened for me. The ending was rushed and didn't match te rest of the story. For me it felt like Carter couldn't come up with someting new and let it end in a cliffhanger without excitement.

I've been highly anticipating Goddess Interrupted ever since I finished the first book in the series last year! Aimee Carter took me away to a world rich with Greek mythology, but one that still held one foot strongly in the mortal world. This time I knew that I'd be able to dive deeper into the characters, their lives, and the unique problems that they faced as gods and goddesses. I couldn't wait! As soon as this book arrived, I had to devour it.
When I first met Kate last year in The Goddess Test, I fell in love with her bold and brave attitude. Even though she started out as a bit tough to love, she soon transformed into a character that I could really get behind. That's why it was so hard for me when I started reading Goddess Interrupted and realized that the same old Kate was back. Tough to love, thoughts that bordered on depressing. The only reason I was able to cope with it better this time is because Aimee Carter does give Kate a mind of her own. Kate knows she's being that way, she tries to battle it, she just doesn't always win.
That's not to say that Kate's attitude isn't warranted. I'll warn you that Carter's characters face their fair share of issues in this story. From waking Titans, to old love affairs, there is a lot that is laid bare in this installment. I had a great time getting to know more about the cast of characters and how they were all linked. Kate and Henry's relationship didn't steal the show, but instead contrasted nicely to the feelings of war that were floating around the palace. So yes, Kate did have a reason to feel so down. I'll give her that.
What really saved the day for me was the ending. Once again Kate proved herself to be a stubborn and fiery character. I won't spoil, but let's just say that this is a cliffhanger that will make your mouth drop open! Upon reading the last page I was speechless. Despite any qualms I may have had while reading, the ending is more than enough to keep me reading on in this series. Bring on more Kate and more Henry. I'll be here to read it.

This book has so much potential its a shame the characters are so annoying. Kates whinging and moaning over Henry takes up most of the storyline when really more time should be spent on the battle between the Olympians and Cronus. The love/hate relationship between Kate and Henry drove me crazy! Really who would put up with that.
