How could she do this to me? HOW IS THIS GREEK MYTHOLOGY? THIS IS A SOAP OPERA!ARC from NetgalleyWell, first, this book is an anthology of stories told from the perspective of different gods/goddesses from The Goddess Test series. I gave my opinion on each one below and after that I will tell you about my reaction to the book as a whole.Hera(Calliope)-- Well, I will say, reading her anthology was quite enlightening. You really get a grasp at how she became who she is and how determined she is to destroy "the council".Sad thing is, I don't blame her. I felt ALL of her pain,
I rarely read anthologies. I tend to stay away from them because most of the time, I only know one of the authors that have written the stories and Im not interested in reading short stories or novellas from series Ive never read before. However, reading an anthology like THE GODDESS LEGACY really appeals to me because its only written by one author, and all the novellas in the book are from the same series (of which Ive read all the books).THE GODDESS LEGACY was a good addition to THE GODDESS
This was a great addition to The Goddess Test series. Back-story on main characters is always a great thing, and this was no exception. We are in the viewpoints of Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes and Hades. It was refreshing to be able to understand the characters a lot more. To read how they think, and how they feel and what their actions mean, meant a lot to me. I felt that I could understand them better. Especially Henrys viewpoint. He is such a quiet and mysterious character and to be able to
this is a collection of short stories about a few gods and goddesses that we know like calliope, ava, persephone, james and henry. i really liked that we took a step back and knew about them individually before everything that happened in book one occured. we got to see how immature and petty they were and then them continuing being that way but in a more dangerous way. i liked all their stories except persephones because i just thought she was being a bitch and unfair to absolutely everyone in
Before I begin I am going to advise all potential readers to read The Goddess Test before The Goddess Legacy. I appreciated Legacy so much more because I was able to connect the characters' actions and development to who they are in the later books. The Goddess Legacy tells about the lives of five of the gods and goddesses in The Goddess Test before Kate Winters made her grand entrance.The first story is Hera's, or Calliope, as she is called in the other novels and later stories. Hera takes us
4,5* actually. I so had the intention to never give half stars but here I am. I really loved this collection of short stories (hello 2105 reading challenge!) because you get to know different caracters better. This enriches the whole series from an level of quite nice to good and complex. Aimee must have made a study from the original myths and Gods to be able to write these stories. That I like about them is that they are intertwined with everything that has happened so far, they explain sooooo
