Goddess bootcamp definitely wasn't as good as the first book in this series, Oh. My. Gods. However, I did enjoy learning more about Phoebe, Stella, Griffin, and even Adara. My favorite part in this book was definitely the scenes with Phoebe and Stella. We see how both of them actually care for one another. And we find out how Stella has her own crush she's pining for! Daemon and Phoebe's mom were there, always supportive of Phoebe's uncontrollable powers. I found the whole theme, controlling your powers, quite unoriginal. I mean, how many authors use that plot line? Like 500 million! (Okay, maybe I am exaggerating, just a little) anyway, I found the whole newfound power thing quite boring. The author hardly even put her own twist on it! Griffin is as amazing as ever. But, of course, I liked the romantic tension in the first book better... All in all, I enjoyed learning more about some wonderful characters, but I won't be reading this again! 2.5 stars- I liked it, in the way a person likes a remote control, we always worship the tv more! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Whereas Phoebe spent the majority of Oh. My. Gods. in the dark about her parentage and feeling like a fish out of water amongst her peers, she spends a lot of this book struggling to do what most teenagers have to accomplish. Her development felt more natural here, as she learns (often the hard way) how to control her powers so she doesn't get the ultimate smack down from the Gods for being reckless.
The romance between she and Griffin moves at a good speed as well. Now that they're both on even ground, more or less, it was fun watching their competitiveness both drive them to be better at their running, but also support each other without reserve. There was never a moment when I felt as if either one would rather the other was less so they could be more.
The race, and the end result, was tense. I could feel how badly Phoebe wanted to win and felt my heart go out to her after everything she went through to get to that point. I never thought she'd use her powers (consciously or otherwise) to win the Pythian Games, but there was that nugget of doubt in my mind that maybe the ultimate lesson for Phoebe would be learning that losing would be okay.
Goddess Boot Camp was as engaging and lively as its predecessor promised it would be. A lot of the character flaws I found in the first book were fixed and a new layer was added to Phoebe's emotional development that I appreciated. Enjoy this second helping of Phoebe's life and join me in rooting for a third book. ( )
