Commentary Toward Books Antigoddess (Goddess War #1)
Old Gods never die…Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.
Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.
These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.
Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.
Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.
The Goddess War is about to begin.

This book is decent. But its not great. Dont get me wrong, I think a lot of people will enjoy it. Hell, I enjoyed most of it. It just didnt blow my mind. I do see potential in the series so I plan on continuing with it, butMeh. I just wanted more. The mythology was handled well but it focused on gods that Ive never really given that many fucks about. Athena? Hermes? Really? Wheres that warmongering bastard Ares? If the gods are fighting for their lives Id think hed be the one leading them intoThis review is part of the Finding Fright in Books event on the blog, where you will soon find an interview with Kendare Blake!Antigoddess FREAKED ME OUT, you guys. I was not expecting that...which, honestly, I should have, after being freaked out by her previous Anna Dressed in Blood. But one common asset between Anna Dressed in Blood (and likely its sequel, Girl of Nightmares, which I haven't read yet but Mel recently loved) and Antigoddess is that Kendare Blake has this awesome skill of
This is my reaction while reading the summary:And this is my reaction afterwards:[image error]And then when I looked at the release date... well, see that it's set for 2013:I can't wait to read this!!! I've always loved mythology and this book sounds like it's going to be absolutely amazing. To me the Greek gods and goddesses have always been immortal so to see them in a state like this will be completely thrilling. The idea is really intriguing. Plus I just plain love Athena. Oh, there's a
I'm one of the few people who never got around to reading Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood, though I do have a copy and will read it...someday. Initially, it wasn't really on my radar, because horror isn't something I seek out, but the reviews convinced me. Antigoddess, however, was a topic that called my name and I was hopeless to resist that call, much like Odysseus and the sirens. Thankfully, Kendare Blake lived up to all the hype, and Antigoddess was a non-stop horrorshow and thrill
3.5/5 stars Gods are cold. War, killing, and stabbing each other in the back is really what we do best. To put it simply: Talk to me about how the Chaste Goddess was "fixed" by a mortal boy and I will cut you, I swear -A quote by meHonestly? I don't know how I feel about this book. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Did it infuriate me? Also yes. It was fast paced, breath-stealing, action-packed, bloody and violent and full of mythology, in a way that would make me love it, if not for the simple fact that
