At first I was intrigued by the story,I dont think Ive ever read a supernatural YA book that starts out with the mother dying so that was interesting. Then things went downhill... I felt like the heroine had multiple personalities,one moment letting people walk all over her the next making friends with the same people :/ The characters jumping to strange conclusions I swear sometimes it felt like I had skipped part of the story. Really it felt like it wanted to cash in on Abandon by Meg Cabot And I wonder...when the author wrote the book,did she at any point realize she was pairing off the heroine with her own uncle? El Extaño Gato del Cuento Me gusta la mitología griega. Amo la mitología en general, mi infancia está plagada de ella, tengo libros sobre Dioses, tengo mis historias favoritas sobre ciertos personajes qué quizá no son muy conocidos. Aprendiz de Diosa, me ha gustado. Es un libro bastante simple en realidad, esperaba más mitología pero sólo es coger algunos nombres de dioses y mencionarlo aquí y allá. Aún con mi decepción en no profundizar tanto en la mitología le doy la aprobación con un desarrollo de argumento entretenido y no estamos dando vuelta a la cuestión por demasiado tiempo. Es bastante fácil seguir la historia. Hay algunas partes importantes bastante flojas para el sustento de la historia, llega a ser demasiado fácil en ciertos casos. Aunque es verdad que no supe quién era el malo malísimo hasta que éste lo insinuó. La adaptación a la mitología que le da Aimee Carter está bien para pasar el rato. Creo que en conjunto, se le podría denominar como una historia Light, aporta muy poco a mi cultura mitológica pero sí me distrajo, creo que si te interesa la mitología y pero no has leído absolutamente nada de ella, éste libro es un buen inicio, en cambio para los que sí hemos pasado gran cantidad de horas leyendo sobre Dioses o viendo al Narrador de Cuentos o a Xena, la Princesa Guerrera, nos vaya parecer una historia no tan acorde con lo que estamos acostumbrados. Creo que quién mejor puede describir el libro es Cassandra Clare: "A fresh take on the Greek myths adds sparkle to this romantic fable." Sería algo así como: "Un aire nuevo de los mitos griegos añade brillo a esta fábula romántica." Y todos sabemos lo que BRILLO quiere decir en literatura juvenil. Cassandra tan genial como siempre. Así que quién lo entendió, lo entendió. Reseña Completa: El Extaño Gato del Cuento
In Carter's first YA novel, the Greek pantheon isn't just down to Earth, it's occupying Eden, Mich., and attending high school. Kate Winters doesn't notice anything special about classmates Ava, James, and Dylan, but pale-eyed Henry gets her attention when he appears to resurrect Ava from the dead after a malicious prank goes horribly wrong. Kate can't quite believe that Henry is the god of the underworld, as he claims, but she also can't dismiss him. Kate's mother is dying of cancer, and Kate is willing to grasp at anything that might win her one more loving maternal conversation. The bargain she strikes with Henry is a grim one, but the full enormity of what she has undertaken—"live forever or die trying"—is not revealed until it's too late to recant. Carter wears her influences openly, with many passages reading like outtakes from Robin McKinley's Beauty by way of Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Nevertheless, the narrative is well executed, and Kate is a heroine better equipped than most to confront and cope with the inexplicable. Gehört zur ReiheThe Goddess Test (1)

He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld--and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests. Kate is sure he's crazy--until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible.

Kate has been chosen to either pass some "tests" to see if she would be the one for Henry (Hades), if she passes he will continue ruling and she will be his wife for 6 months in the underworld and 6 months above-- basically a Persephone and Hades type of story, which I am always up for, I love them even the cheesiest ones, call it my guilty pleasure but I will always enjoy different variations (well mostly lol) . Moving on ,, she is makes a deal with Henry that she will do her best to past these test and do what she must in exchange he will allow her more time with her dying mother. Now I will be clear this is not accurate to the stories of the Greek Gods ( no offense to those that believe they were real, just my opinion so don't come at me) but it's not like I believe them to be real to begin with so with that being said I enjoyed the book, it had cute, fluff and none of this over done spice that seems to be in way too many books lately so that alone was awesome for me.
and I look forward to reading the next book. ( )
