Goodreads Blurb
Love or life.
Henry or their child.
The end of her family or the end of the world.
Kate must choose.
During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.
In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.
With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity.
Is it possible to have a book blow away your expectations but be disappointing at the same time? Because The Goddess Inheritance was.
But let's work our way up. Why was it disappointing? Kate, Kate, Kate. She was such an annoying character in Goddess Inheritance. While I can understand her situation, she just wasn't the same fearless heroine we had in the last two books, though that may be because of Milo. But I just couldn't grasp how different and weak she was, how dependent she was, and that irritated me to no end. She was so...ugh. She always thought she could help with something, and ended up messing everything up. She thought she knew everything and then she knew nothing at all. She would be so angry at her friends then it turns out the reasons wasn't plausible. In short she was naive, irritating, useless, and weak. I wanted to throttle her so much. However...
I still loveloveloved how the original Greek gods could be portrayed in these modern people who know the going ons! Carter did a perfect job of transferring old fashioned stuffy gods into still stuffy modern people who represented their...realms? Well. The worldbuilding was wonderful guys! and we finally got to see Olympus and more of the Underworld! As creepy as it seems, I love seeing how an author writes the Underworld/afterlife. They're all completely different and completely filled with imagination!
Psh, as if this book could be slow in any way! There were barely any breaks between the action scenes or the ginormous twists or the sweet little baby scenes. So I say "as if!" to anyone who even suggests that the plot was disappointing and slow. It really wasn't. It really, really wasn't. I think that's all I can say! But don't worry, it's not done in a way that just throws information at you, promise!
What else, what else? Everything else was just so wonderful already. Except for the romance, which irritated me since this time around, I didn't really feela s if Kate deserved Henry. No, it has nothing to do with Henry himself! Him with the baby was too cute for words!

ReplyDeleteKate needed a good slap across the face! Seriously, I was like "Grow a pair and let's go!" Even though she's a girl.
YOU GET WHAT I MEAN RIGHT?
Dude. I thought the plot was slow lol. Well, I guess it wasn't REALLY, it just wasn't presented in a very...EXCITING fashion.
Does that work?
*is done defending herself*
AWESOME REVIEW NIKKIPIE.
Hi my friend! It has been a long time since I have had the pleasure of commenting on a review. I have not yet been able to read this last book in the series yet, and I am very sad about that. Really, sad..... Anyway, I can't say that I am surprised about Kate. She has fluctuated between being tough, can-do girl and whiny, dependent girl. But everything else pretty much makes up for it. Either way, I am looking forward to finally getting my hands on it so I can know what the heck happens!! How it ends?! Baby? What goes on? One day, I shall know the answer to those questions!
