I really liked this novella for this series. It was a nice behind the scenes look at several of the characters, and I liked how we got the back stories on characters that have been so intergral to the series. I found Hera's story interesting because it honestly explains A LOT; not just about the events that happen in the first book, but also about the character in general. However, out of all of the stories, my favorite was, wait for it....Henry's. That is probably the most obvious thing in the world for anyone that knows me, but what can I say? I loved Henry throughout The Goddess Test, then fell even more in love with him in Goddess Interrupted, but not reading his story, you understand him so much more. You get to see this different side to him, and how much he truly cares for Kate. I thought the scene where he first met Kate was absolutely adorable! 
 This book is a must-read for any fans of the series, but I highly recommend this for new fans as well. This is the type of book that you could read before the first in the series, and then jump into the series, and not miss anything. Granted, the stories are more understood if you read the first two books, but don't let that prevent you from trying this book and the series in general. I now cannot wait until next year for The Goddess Inheritance!
