The Goddess Inheritance
by Aimée Carter
First Thoughts: That was definitely more intense than I was expecting! I love how it all ended though.

I've been anticipating this final book in the Goddess Test series for quite some time. In many ways, The Goddess Inheritance is a good, strong finish. My love for Henry and Kate, and my fascination with the entire family, pretty much ensured that I would enjoy discovering their fate as this story came to an end.
All the characters from the previous books - both the beloved, the annoying and the evil - are back. Even though they're all playing a part in this war between Cronus and the gods, I like how the book chooses to focus primarily on Kate and Henry. They're the two characters I'm the most invested in, so it was a match made in heaven to see that, as always, the focus remained on the two of them and the parts that they could play in this upcoming battle.
And boy, there is a ton that they go through in this one! They have to figure out solutions to multiple problems: how to keep their child safe, how to avoid being captured or tricked into taking Cronus' side, how to save the council and how to make sure that the rest of the world stays intact. The stakes are very high in this one, the consequences dire and time short - and it's a wonder that Kate and Henry manage to come up with any plan at all in lieu of all these stressful situations.
Because they're up against so much, there's a lot going on in this story. The twists were surprising to me, mostly because I had no idea what to expect going into the book! It was really fun to read without any expectations or ideas whatsoever, as I just kept turning pages in my eagerness to find out how everything was resolved.
Obviously, while I talk about Kate & Henry, I cannot fail to mention how their love story makes me incredibly happy. They're both still devoted to each other, which I love and they certainly share some very sweet moments that made me excited as someone who roots for them.
I only have a minor complaint about the story's resolution, because it felt a little bit anticlimactic to me. I appreciated the drama, and how the author chose to end things, but I still felt like something was missing. However, this minor disturbance didn't detract too much from my overall enjoyment.
It makes me sad to know that my time with Kate, Henry & the rest of their family is coming to an end for now. The Goddess Inheritance brings the drama, the love and the twists with practiced ease, and it's a solid conclusion to this series.
