This is my reaction while reading the summary:


And this is my reaction afterwards:


And then when I looked at the release date... well, see that it's set for 2013:


I can't wait to read this!!! I've always loved mythology and this book sounds like it's going to be absolutely amazing. To me the Greek gods and goddesses have always been immortal so to see them in a state like this will be completely thrilling. The idea is really intriguing. Plus I just plain love Athena.

Oh, there's a cover now! More...

Antigoddess is all sort of freaky loveliness. For fans of greek mythology, this novel brings in a creative and original depiction of the well loved myth, where the gods are caught in a new story and facing the war of all wars--their lost immortality.

First thing's first, you might want to brush up in your knowledge of the trojan war if you're not very well versed on that event in greek mythology--or at least have Wiki at the ready. As much as I enjoy this myth I have only dived into it in the pas More...

EDIT: 12/07/12 Oh goodness... Just look at that cover. Isn't it so intriguing? I wonder what the blood dripping feather stands for. Does the feather mean what happened to Athena? I mean, she woke up sprouting feathers right? And then the drop of blood from the feather, rippling in the water may mean something to Hermes... Something in his flesh-eating fever? And also what is that? It looked like something that is a forest (located at the back of the ANTIGODDESS title) and a green sphere-shaped More...

Not only does the summary sound completely like my thing (yes to more mythology based books), it's from Kendare Blake of Anna Dressed in Blood in blood fame. There's no way I'm not going to read this. Too bad it's still a year off. :(

Very excited for this book! I'm enjoying ADIB so far, and it's cool to see an upcoming book about Greek mythology (I feel like I've had my fill of vampires, werewolves, and angels). Plus I'm working on a book about Greek gods as well, so squee!

One of the longest descriptions I have ever read... Hopefully it will get condensed and make a little more sense before the book comes out. But I mean, Kendare Blake writing about gods and goddesses? I am so there.

Though I don't really find myself tempted to read this book (or any YA books, really), it has such an interesting blurb and concept I find myself thinking I might as well try it.

OMG my favourite genre, mythology. AND IT'S GREEK MYTHOLOGY GUYS. GREEK. *dies* I still have yet to read Kendare's Anna series which has been on my TBR in a long time and I think it's time to get started with all the hype going around.

The synopsis sounds really interesting and I simply can't wait. Cassandra? I know her from lots of Greek history books I've read (yeah I'm a but nerdy like that) and this might just be the perfect book to recap my knowledge. Athena, is my favourite goddess too so More...
