This book had a lot of humor which had me laughing out loud... literally. It was a good book for anyone who felt like they don't belong (which is anyone human or goddess). It is a problem we all share and this book does a good job of solving that problem for our main characters. Oh, and I don't think this is quite a spoiler... but it is in the book. Coconut oil IS good for the hair as well as the skin. It is one of the few oils that can be absorbed into the hair shaft. Just a little trivia from the book that was accurate. :-)

Let me start by saying that I love this series. All 4 books I read so far are on my keeper pile...... Except this one.

...I will not give any spoilers here...

I really liked the sauciness in the heroines in WARRIOR RISING because it portrayed the human characters very well, even if the sauciness sometimes got on my nerves, it was well executed and I kept the book. Having say that, would like to make comparison to the characters here. Persephone did not act like Persephone from GODDESS OF SPRING we already know. Along with VENUS and PEA the main character and a high-school director, they acted like they were 17 or just got high. The 'sauciness' was badly executed and made the characters appear immature.

PEA (we never find out how she got the nick name) has dancers flawless body, the perfect perfect job, prefect car, perfect home and of course goes everywhere in sweatpants and can't figure out how to dress her self even though her home is designed with prefect ...... (are you hating the perfect word yet? I know I do)......attention to detail, and feels awkward because she has not figured out there are cosmetic products to tame any wild hair with frizz... And has a crush on a guy who doesn't even remember her name.

Said guy is absolutely perfect in every way, he has a sculpted face, tall muscular body, bad boy style, is a metal working artist and is a fireman. Of course he also has four flawlessly beautiful, and successful sisters (one is publisher) who too have the chattiness and brattiness of 14year olds.

Venus goes from 'know it all about love - Goddess of love' to being advised by Pea who two days before couldn't even define love. However she is the best character in this weak story, funny, spunky and creates some awkward moments to laugh at, with her openness to discuss her field 'the art of sensual and erotic love'.

Her husband, Vulcan, the God of fire, started very strong and intriguing, but turned into a "pin-up". A character the author pins up to fill a hole. The only things we learn about him is his obsession about his imperfection... A Limp...his control of fire, his awkwardness, shines and contemplated suicide. And that his marriage is a sham...

The story though well executed was a disappointment. By page 15! I predicted (accurately) where the story will go and what will be the twist at the end. This I think was for me bigger problem then the immature but perfect in every way characters. It is like reading Angels and Daemons with someone telling you at the beginning how the book ends..... Totally dissatisfying.

I rated the book with 3 stars but I think had I not read other books in this series, and known that P.C. Cast can write amazing stories, I might have been less generous.
