4.5- sobbed hardcore

Spoilers if you have not read the first two books in the series!

The Goddess Inheritance didn't really have the compelling nature that the first book had for me. I feel like the first was definitely the best, and the series went down (not a whole lot, but a noticeable amount) from there.

Maybe it was the fact that the first book was mysterious, there were plot twists and mysteries that came out of no where. By Inheritance there were no mysteries that left me guessing. There were no mysteries at all.

Also, I felt like I had to have read all the extra mini-books that came in between to fully understand this one. I don't want that obligation, those books are supposed to be for die hard fans, are they not? At least they're supposed to be separate enough from the main series so as not to cause confusion.

I felt that Kate tried hard to be heroic, but she kind of petered out after the first couple attempts. She was just a bland protagonist and I thought it was ridiculous that Cronus would want her of all people (even though his reasons were explained.)

While I still enjoyed it enough to give it three stars, I felt like Inheritance could have been more than it was. The ending itself didn't even feel like an ending.

Spinoff series starring Eric, anybody?

3.5 ⭐️ Kate won’t stfu about her son and it’s annoying like lady… we’re fighting a titan over here. The ending + final battle was lit though

I didn't expect much from The Goddess Inheritance . Although I had not read the others (the previous books) recently, I remembered enough to know that Kate was annoying.

All her plans fall through. Every single one of them. Is not possible to create a plan that will not end in some horrendous pile of crap making everyone you love miserable along the way? And if you can't, at least stop after the 5th time. NO NEED TO KEEP TRYING. Listen to people who KNOW and somewhat learn from their plans. Seriously.

The saving grace was Milo. I frikkin love Milo. And Kate's love for Milo was wondrous. It made me happy.

Poor Ava, the poor child- she has no luck. Callopole (can not spell her name -__- ) is a bitch. Hope she does.

I feel bit bad for the big old Titan, but then again.. He got rid of Athens! I mean come one. Athens!!! What did Greece ever do to you?

I still love Henry/Hades, he is the only character in this book (I feel) that is like his true self- the one I would imagine to be. He makes me jiggly goo.

Basically. I liked the men in this book (somewhat) and Kate needs to grow some wise balls.

Other than that.. I'm just glad this series is over and I can finally lay Kate down into the Underworld, and not think of her for a LONG LONG time.

This was a great conclusion to the series, though I admit that being such a huge fan of mythology, and of the story Aimee Carter weaved in these books, I really want more of them. There always is that possibility, I suppose. At the end of the book she said that Kate's story was concluded-for now. I think that Kate has had a great character arc through the trilogy and I loved watching her struggle and grow and adapt to this world she found herself immersed in. She has become quite strong and capable, and seeing her fight to defend her family made this another story I could not put down...literally. I started this book and finished it within a couple hours. I can't wait to read the next book by Aimee Carter.

It was probably my least favorite in the series if I am being completely honest. I had been so looking forward to reading it. The beginning was good, but not great. The storyline seemed to drag on until it got to the climax. I am happy to finally see Henry and Kate happy, but it was at the cost of my boredom for part of the story. Still....a good read.

THIS BOOK WAS INTEEEEEEENSE.

I got this as a First Read and I had been a little under the weather and had some computer issues so I never got around to reviewing it. I don't have a lot of details to discuss, but I felt it wrapped things up rather generally. In a way I was a little disappointed because I expected so much more from Carter since she wrote such beautiful things for her past works and lacked creativity when naming the child of a god/goddess. To be honest, I feel as if she left too many questions unanswered and it is more like she intends to continue the story at some point in the future. Maybe that is something she should really consider...

I just found it so difficult to get through this book. I feel like there was a lot of repetition and that Kate just didn't have enough of a backbone to make anything believable. One minute she's confident the next she's second guessing and doubting herself and everyone and each move made and I couldn't really sympathise with her as much as I would've liked.

All in all I feel like the first two books carried the series and this book could've been half the size. Definitely a let down.
