Goddess Interrupted by Aimée Carter
5.0
Whoa. Okay. Back up here, folks. What just happened?
I liked The Goddess Test. It wasn't mind blowing but it wasn't irritating either. It was the perfect blend of it all and while the tests weren't what I expected I knew I'd come for the sequel. However, I wasn't sure what to expect. Would it be on the same level as GT or would it be more?
I am so happy to say it is more.
In Goddess Interrupted, Kate returns from her Greece holiday with James and is preparing to be crowned Queen of the Underworld. However, Calliope is back and she's revenge seeking and has released Cronus. Which is understandably a big deal. Henry is kidnapped and to save him, Kate must open the gates that let Cronus free. However Kate, who was in the Underworld for only a few hours, hasn't had many lessons in Queen and the only other person who knows how is Persephone--Henry's ex-wife who he still pines for.
I have to admit, I felt my heart break for Kate. Here Kate realises that she is second best to Persephone and is having trouble accepting that fact. And hell I would to! Kate really grew in this book and while I always felt like she was mature, it's here that she shows you that she really loves Henry and how that love is really causing her genuine pain because of his unrequited feelings.
This book turned me into a sap. I felt like crying with Kate as she ripped her heart open for Henry. I'm not usually a sap, so bravo to you, Carter. The action in this is rammed up too and since Kate is in the middle of it, we get all the juicy details. I remember wishing that the Goddess Test had more action, but it seems like they were answered with its sequel.
The cliff hanger.. My gosh. After the emotional roller coaster we experience with Henry, Kate and Persephone the cliff hanger is like a stab in the stomach and the back and the legs and the arms and you get the picture. The Goddess Inheritance could not get her soon enough.
If you thought the Goddess Test was just okay, I do recommend giving Goddess Interrupted a shot. The emotion and the action are the perfect blends and the cliff hanger will leave you wanting more ASAP.
