Review: Quick, enjoyable read, but not essential to the overall plot of the series

The Goddess Hunt is a novella that takes place in between the first and second books of The Goddess Test series. It takes us into the myth of Castor and Pollux and, surprisingly, contains a lot of action and adventure. Unlike The Goddess Test, The Goddess Hunt is pretty fast paced and isn't character driven. Even though the plot is action driven, we still get a deeper look into some of the characters--particularly James.I loved James in The Goddess Test, so I was extremely excited to read more about him. There is definitely some strong potential for a Henry-Kate-James love triangle (yay!), but who knows if that will actually materialize. I definitely see chemistry between Kate and James, and am excited to see if this goes anywhere.The Goddess Hunt is a quick, enjoyable read, but is not essential to the overall plot of the series. It offers up a unique story that will help you get to know the characters better and immerse you more deeply in the world that Carter has created. If you are a James fan, you won't want to skip this one.
