Love or life.
Henry or their child.
The end of her family or the end of the world.
Kate must choose.
During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.
In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.
With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity.

THE GODDESS INHERITANCE was a great
(potentially temporary) end to THE GODDESS TEST trilogy. It was action
packed and filled with the same spark that made me love the first two
books. I also really liked how Aimee Carter left the ending open while
still maintaining that complete feeling. There is so much left in this
world she created to explore; there are several characters that could have
their own story and so many places that are only touched upon.
I love how marriage is sexy in this
series -- holy matrimony never looked so good. Henry and Kate’s
relationship still has a lot of spark to it, which I found especially lovely
because they’re married. Marriage isn’t
terribly common in young adult (which makes sense; it’s young adult), but I
love that THE GODDESS TEST series portrayed marriage in a good (and sexy)
light. In young adult, the glimpses of
marriage you do get are usually through the parents of the characters. And let’s face it, in young adult, there’s an
abundance of absent and/or divorced parents.
Kate’s (somewhat incestuous) family is refreshing. Plus, who doesn’t love a bit of win-cest? I don’t usually, but for some reason I find
myself loving how Kate’s mom is also her auntie and sister-in-law.
There’s nothing I would say is bad about
the book, but there is something that was just okay. I felt like I didn't have a strong feel for
Henry's character anymore -- he's barely a main character in this
book. Actually, he is the definition of a supporting character, as he
literally supports Kate. That is his main role in the book, at least from
my perspective. Henry doesn't have the strongest personality to begin
with, so with his depleted role, it was really easy to lose sight of who he
is. Henry is in the book more than he was in GODDESS INTERRUPTED,
however, he just didn't have a lot of moments where his character shined.
In THE GODDESS TEST, my favorite part of the book was the chemistry between
Henry and Kate, so the sequel and this one let me down a little in that way.
I love the way Aimee Carter writes;
she has a relaxed way of writing that is so easy to read. Not to say that
her stories aren't dynamic or suspenseful, because they are. The way she
writes is kind of like how people normally talk: it is relaxed. It is
fluid. It makes her books a quick, fun reads consistantly. I would
pick up another book written by her in a heart beat. And it's nice to
know I won't have to wait too long: her next book is out next month. PAWN
is the start of a dystopian series, which is a bit of a jump from THE GODDESS
TEST, but I'm betting it will be just as good.
