The Goddess Test seemed to be a hit-or-miss read in 2011 for many people, but for me, it was definitely a hit and I was eagerly awaiting the release of the second book to add to my collection. School got in the way of reading this one as soon as I would have liked, but now that I've had time to read it and think about it for awhile, I can definitely say that I enjoyed it very much, but it had a little bit of that "middle book" feel for me. 
 Let me explain. 
 Goddess Interrupted has all the makings of a really fabulous book. It picks up with Kate returning to Henry and the Underworld and preparing to be officially made his queen. Things, of course, go terribly wrong and everything goes to hell (quite....literally). Once again, I loved the way that Aimee Carter has crafted this mythology into a modern-day story. The way that the characters are woven together really brings them to life. They seem very much like a family--with all the normal family problems we all experience, just on a bit of a larger scale. The book is filled with plenty of action along the way that definitely keeps you on your toes and hoping that your favorite characters don't die! 
 What gives this a little bit of that "middle book" feel is the way that the focus is really placed on the relationship between Kate and Henry and the associated angst. There are a lot of moments where it feels like the real drama and tension of the crazy stuff that's happening takes a backseat to Kate's desire to have a real relationship with Henry. Don't get me wrong--I totally understand what she's getting at. However, it feels like the book spends a lot of time setting up the ending and preparing you for the finale. 
 Make sense? 
 Regardless, all things considered, this was a fun read and it didn't really disappoint me in terms of the series. I'm super excited for the final installment as well as the upcoming compilation of stories, The Goddess Legacy. If you were a fan of The Goddess Test, definitely take the time to read this second installment (and the ebook novella--The Goddess Hunt). Carter's writing and storytelling is pretty spot on and will keep you engaged and leave you begging for the finale.
