The Goddess Test by Aimée Carter
5.0

I'm surprised at how many bad reviews there are! I loved this book so much that I was tempted to skip my favourite show tonight to finish it XD

I've always loved Greek mythology, so while reading this I tried to figure out who was who and it was really fun! Carter put an interesting twist to the mythology and I thought she did it really well.

For the most part I love the writing style; it's paced very nicely and flows together well. There are some things that bother me, like the repetition with certain phrases (ex. "Kate?" and "...more than anything else...")

Oh my god I fell in love so badly with Henry! The last time I fell in love with a character that hard was with Will Herondale, which is saying a lot considering he's my favourite book character of all time. But Henry is just so incredible and polite and everything good about life and I want him to be real TT.TT

One thing that I really love about this book is the ending. Carter ended it in a way that I could just stop here, not read the other books and I'd have no lingering questions. I'll still read the other books, simply because I want to see more of Henry, but it was ended rather well. I applaud Carter for being able to do that, because I'm horrible when it comes to endings; I'm always asking questions that won't be answered, but this time I have none (at least not at the moment =p)
