The Goddess Hunt was an interesting novella. Kate and James have just started their six month long Greek vacation. However, on their first day, they get lost in the woods near Athens. The pair stumble upon twins, Castor and Pollux, who are on the run from the council. The twins are convinced that Kate has been sent to hunt them down for her husband, but she really has no idea what's going on. They tell their story, which of course, causes Kate to want to help them. She knows how hard it is to be separated from the person you love most in the world, and is willing to challenge Zeus and Henry to let them be together. I really just love how Kate stands up to the council, and is willing to fight for change and what she believes is right. The gods are too dead set in their ways and let their pride rule them, but Kate is slowly but surely worming her way under their skin.I don't think The Goddess Hunt is a required read for the series. It's just a short interlude of part of Kate's time away from Eden. It's barely even referenced in the next book. However, if you are a fan of mythology retellings (which I assume you are if you're interested in this series), then this is probably worth a read. I liked learning a bit more about the myth of the Gemini twins, as well as the authors twist on their lives and afterlives. Plus, it's just worth witnessing Kate tell off Zeus!
