Antigoddess Review
My insides kinda hurt with the shock of what happened and i was pissed for a long time after! And because of that my rating dropped from 4.5 to 4⭐'s. .
I did love it though and here is a synopsis, then my review at the bottom ☺
.
Synopsis:
Antigoddess is brilliance!! It brings Greek gods and goddesses into the 21st century. Gods are supposed to be immortal right? So why are they dying? Athena is being slowing choked by the feathers of her owls, Hermes is withering away and they don't understand what's happening to them or how to stop it, so they go on a journey to get answers. But they just end up with more questions as other gods and goddesses are slowly dying from mysterious diseases as well. Hera, queen of the gods, has gone insane and has made an alliance with Poseidon and Aphrodite in an effort to kill the other gods in order to save themselves. A full on war between the Olympian gods is about to begin and the only hope that Athena and her friends have is the reincarnation of a powerful prophetess, Cassandra, who is much more than she seems. .
My Review:
I was sucked in from the very first chapter! Athena, Hermes, Odyseus, Cassandra and Apollo make an awesome team and i would nominate for #favebookposse
The idea of ancient Greek gods and goddesses waging war in the modern world was compelling and the author wrote about it with such finesse it made the characters more fascinating and yet easy to identify with. The writing itself was phenomenal with a fast pace, vivid imagery, and detailed descriptions. The plot was compelling! I was eagerly turning the pages to see what was going to happen. .
I can't wait for the second book!
Highly recommended for fans of YA fantasy and mythology retellings
