Book Reviews of Warrior Rising (Goddess Summoning, Book 6)
Book Review: The Trojan War Made Romantic
Summary: 4 Stars
A light-hearted romantic version of the Trojan War? Why not?! Olympians run amok, Achilles goes berserk, Odysseus gets some divine lovin' and two modern mortals find their true loves in the ancient world. While there are some inconsistencies in story telling, the book still manages to whisk the reader away, much like our main characters. Two modern women, Kat and Jackie have their souls hijacked and swept into the bodies of a Trojan Princess and her servant. Tasked by Goddesses to end the war, these BFFs face an angry king, accusations of witchcraft and terrible monsters to alter the fate of Achillies and Greece.
You would think by now that Cast would tire of her Goddess series but to the contrary it seems to gain more steam with each new novel. She makes no apologies for totally changing history (as we think of it) and crafts a beautiful, if not terribly original, romance.
One thing that worries me is that she may be headed into a rut with all the soul swapping going on. I'd like to see a new take on the modern/ancient interaction in the next book. Also, she needs to watch for consistency. One moment the gods can bring back and ensoul the dead, the next they can't heal a simple wound. The boundaries are unclear as to when/where/how the gods are allowed to intervene.
Despite its flaws Warrior Rising is a worthy addition to the series; a fun, fast read.
Summary of Warrior Rising (Goddess Summoning, Book 6)
From ?a stellar talent?( New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning) comes another ?scorchingly sensual, utterly delicious?( New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter) novel?The Goddesses have had it with the Trojan War. So much devastation?all because of some silly male egos. The worst of the bunch is that cocky, handsome brute Achilles. But the only way to stop a man like Achilles is to distract him with something far more pleasurable than combat?
Enter Kat, a modern girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Goddesses transform her into a Trojan princess, having no doubt that she?ll capture Achilles?s attention. But can her independent spirit match the unquenchable fire of his epic rage? Goddess only knows?
