I'm already in heaven! Fabulous! I might be a little biased though...just a little. From the beginning I've been so intrigued by the wonderful characters. I could have just read the story of the baker, with no supernatural stuff at all...it was so wonderfully written. And I just adore fantasy, so the whole Olympus thing is really a treat. But what prompted me to jump up and start my review is the detail of the palace...and the gemstones! As I happen to be a gemstone artist...irresistable! Giggle! Okay, I have to get all the rest of this series now!
I'll write more when I've finished.

I really enjoyed this book. Can't wait to read the others.
PC Cast writes a fantastic novel. Very rich in details, emotion and atmosphere. So far, this is my favorite in her 'Goddess Summoning' series. I loved the interaction between Hades and Persephone's fill-in, the mortal Lina. Very well done!
I felt that the god of the underworld should have been more interesting than Hades was portrayed. If I'm reading a book where the hero is the Lord of the Dead I'd like for him to be a little less sensitive and a little more dark.
Very magical and exciting. The book is so descriptive, I could actually imagine the surroundings. Very romantic and sensual. I couldn't put it down. I liked it better than Goddess of the Sea.
