It is hard for me to write this review because I had the expectation that I would love the sequel to The Goddess Test (see my review here) and I am sorry to say that it was not the great read I was hoping for.


I really liked Kate in the previous book, but in its sequel she turned into a very insecure person, and that that is not a character trait that I admire. If there is something that I cannot abide is whining. I discourage it in my children and they know that they will not get anything from me by using that tactic. I understand that Kate is really young, especially compared to Greek gods, but still, it seems like 50% of the book was spent on reading about Kate’s insecurities, self-doubt, and lack of trust in Henry. It just drove me crazy. Sorry! I had to get that out of my chest.


I feel like Kate gave up really quickly. Henry is, as in the previous book, very mysterious. It’s not easy for him to show or talk about feelings and we have to understand that all the gods (the only “people” that Kate hangs with) have lived for eons. It is really hard to change overnight and he had other things in his mind as well. Ava and James appear more in this book and we get to know them a little better (even if what we learn is not all good). We also meet Persephone and although she is beautiful, she is not a very nice person.


The plot was weak and relied heavily on Kate’s inner conflict, instead of the danger they were all in. The writing was easy to read and flowed a little slow. What on earth happened with at the end? It felt rushed, not very believable and a total cliffhanger (you guys know I don’t like those, right?)


I will still read The Goddess Inheritance, the third installment in the series due to be published in October of this year.


About the cover: The cover is beautiful, the flowing attire, the long hair all make allusion to the Greek theme, as well as the font.
