Ok... the Goddess Legacy (book 2.5 novella) is still my favorite. Sadly this book just did not hold up to my expectations of it. It was rather predictable and Kate was a bit wishy washy as she was during the second book. All along I guessed who her father was...

duh, Zeus

and I pretty much realized

Rhea

would come save the day.

Again, I didn't hate it or love it... it was ok. I knew there would be a happy ending and I didn't expect the death of

Ava

but I was still bitter about that character's behavior over the past two books regardless.

If you want a quick, light read the series is worth borrowing from your local library (like I did) or a friend, but if you are a purist of Greek Mythology or cannot stand semi overly emotional heroines, maybe it is best that you avoid it.

So good. Couldn't put it down. I can't believe I waited so long to read this book.

Finally finished this series!
The final battle has begun. Kate Winters has been nine months pregnant in captivity by Calliope as Cronus wreaks havoc on the world. Calliope wants Kate's child to be raised as her own. And Kate wants nothing more than to return to her beloved Henry and raise their child together. Cronus offers Kate a deal to keep her child and spare humanity if she promises to be loyal to him, but the deal comes at a steep price, one that may separate her and Henry forever.
I just wanted this series to be over. The first book was good. It was unique and had a touch of romance here and there. Overall, a fine reworking of the myth of Persephone and Hades. Then, there was the second book. The story began to lose momentum, it was as if the author had run out of ideas and had to force the reader to jump through a few hoops to make this series into a trilogy.
One of the really confusing things about this series is that immortality doesn't really mean "immortal." Gods and goddesses can be killed, but not always, but sometimes yes. Needless to say, it was utterly confusing.
I wanted to finish the series because it had been on my to-read list for many years. But, I had no real interest in Kate or Henry as characters after the second book. The romance, which I assumed was supposed to be the main focus of the series, was nearly non-existent in this book. And, in the second book, Kate goes through a period where she is uncertain whether Henry has feelings for her. None of these doubts seemed to be resolved, rather just pushed aside once Kate had her child.
All in all, this was a disappointing end to the series. I had hoped for more, I had hoped for better.

Loved it. One of the best series about greek mythology that I've ever read... So sad it's over:However I look forward to reading more future novels by aimee carter!!!

uh

4.5 stars - this is a series review

This series was nice. The female protagonist wasn't that stupid, but she was a little ignorant about following orders. But, she did whatever she believed in and followed through. The other characters also developed over the three books and I felt close to them.

The only person I really hated was Walter, until the last hundred pages of the last book.

"...a man can feel things he does not express, and that lack of expression does not deplete that love." page 272 - The Goddess Inheritance

I read that sentence three times, and almost cried right then and there. When I grew up, my father was all about work, and I felt he didn't love me. But, nowadays, he will call every couple days, and we have been growing closer. A lot of men don't express their feelings, and I get that now.

But, overall, this is an amazing series.
