I'm really enjoying this series...I've always been fascinated with the Greek gods and I love the way the author has brought them to life in the present day. Fast-paced, great writing, intriguing characters. Definitely recommended. ( ) Gosh. I didn't hate this book but I didn't love it. I'm all about the characters here, but lots of the plot felt.. really unnecessary. Flying all around the world and last minute trips to the underworld with nothing to show for it? Meh, meh. But naturally, I'll read the next book because, cliffhangers. Gosh. I didn't hate this book but I didn't love it. I'm all about the characters here, but lots of the plot felt.. really unnecessary.

Mortal Gods is the middle book in a fun new YA series, The Goddess War by Kendare Blake. It is a pleasant surprise that this book is better than Book 1 in the series, Antigoddess. In this novel several of the main characters show humanitarian character growth and growing awareness of what being human is. That doesn't seem like much but when the characters are Gods and Goddesses it is a great deal. The series is a brilliant take-off on the Iliad and the Odyssey. It’s about the Trojan war. The author has spun the story so that Athena is a punk rocker 21 year-old, Hermes is a Tommy Hilfiger poster-boy, Cassandra is still in love with Apollo (or he with her) and they all live in Kincaide, New York and go to High School. Calypso appears in this novel to complicate the growing relationship between Athena and Odysseus and when the bang-up ending comes it is a real smacker. What Marissa Meyer did for the Cinderella story in the Lunar Chronicles, Blake has done for the Trojan War. It is great fun to see how she has spun the story and in the process has made it so much fun. I have been reading this novel during my lunch hour at work and I keep trying to drag out the lunch hour so I can read longer. By the time I got to the end I had to take this "at-work-read" home so that I could finish it. I just couldn't wait another day to find out what the author did with the story. If you are looking for something fun to occupy your reading time – try this series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
