Instead, I found The Goddess Test to be a rather fluffy novel with quite flat characters and a romance that I just couldn’t understand. Maybe some fighting and some seriously challenging tasks to accomplish. And the tests? I imagined they’d be perhaps a little Goblet of Fire-like. Here I was, imagining an action-packed novel with Greek mythology and swoon-worthy characters spilling from its pages. Now, tell me that doesn’t sound like an AWESOME concept. If she succeeds, she’ll become Henry’s future bride, and a goddess. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. Kate is sure he’s crazy – until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld – and if she accepts his bargain, he’ll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
So Kate’s going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won’t live past the fall. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home.
It’s always been just Kate and her mum – and her mother is dying. Excellent concept but lacking the conviction that could have made this an awesome read rather than an average one.Įvery girl who has taken the test has died.
