When Kate elects to spend her first six months away from her new husband henry travelling Greece with James, she runs across two rogue demi-gods, Castor and Pollux, and elects to help them escape capture after a thousand ears on the run.

The Goddess Hunt is not aptly named – it’s not about anyone hunting Kate, but about the hunt for the two demi-gods, twin brothers Castor and Pollux. According the legend, one of them is immortal and one mortal, and when Castor died he was trapped in the Underworld. Pollux tried to make a deal with Zeus to free Castor, but it backfired, and although Castor became immortal again, the brothers were doomed to spend every day apart. So they escaped.

Kate decides that it’s not fair the brothers should experience the loss of never seeing someone again – I think it’s because she’s so special and she’s been through so much and she ‘lost’ her mother and she’s currently separated from Henry even though she doesn’t have to be if she doesn’t want to be, so she bleeds her heart over everything and tries to help by doing nothing really. The saving grace of this novel is Kate’s newfound immortality and her guts. She’s mouthy and arrogant and stands up to beings infinitely times more powerful and experienced than her with nary a thought for the consequences. That’s why I like her.

Carter’s writing is clean and easy to read. It’s nothing special, and seeing as how this is a novella, it’s short as well. It’s a good read to while away an hour or so.

Overall the Goddess Hunt presents the time Kate spent in Greece during her first summer away from Henry. The thing that bothered me the most about this was that Kate never graduated from high school, so she’s basically a eighteen year old drop out and married as well. I mean, it’s not a very good example to set, is it? Putting a relationship before your education, especially a basic education. I doubt I’ll re-read this novella, but it was entertaining enough to see Kate give Walter a piece of her mind.(less)

4/5 Stars!

I liked reading from Henry's point-of-view. I wish there was a book all about him. He brings a different perspective to the goings-on within the books. I hope that Ms. Carter brings more of his thoughts into the next book. His ideas and thoughts about everything that was happening were very interesting to read. I enjoyed it.

Nachdem Kate die Prüfungen bestanden hat, muss sie Eden und ihren Ehemann Henry vorerst verlassen. Mit ihrem besten Freund James verbringt sie den Sommer in Griechenland - und wird prompt in eine Fehde zwischen den Unsterblichen hineingezogen. Seit Jahrhunderten sind Castor und Pollux auf der Flucht vor Zeus und Hades, und Kate, die angehende Königin der Unterwelt, ist mit Sicherheit die letzte Person, der die Brüder trauen. Trotz allem ist sie entschlossen, den beiden zu helfen. Bald muss Kate jedoch feststellen, dass sie im Umgang mit den Unsterblichen noch einiges zu lernen hat …

Cover:
Das Cover zu "Die vollkommene Kämpferin" ist genau wie Band 1 wunderschön gestaltet. Auf dem Cover sieht man wieder die junge Protagonistin Kate. Das Cover passt aber auch zu der Umgebung der Handlung richtig gut.

Erster Satz:
Scheinbar endlos wand sich der Gang aus der Höhle aufwärts durch die Erde.

Meinung:
Kate hat ihre Prüfung als Wintermädchen bestanden doch nun muss sie Henry sechs Monate lang verlassen. Zusammen mit James verbringt sie die sechs Monate in Griechenland und kommt schnell wieder in eine Fehde der Götter. Die Brüder Castor und Pollux sind auf der Flucht vor Zeus und Hades. Erfreut sind die Brüder nicht Kate zu sehen da sie bald der angehende König der Unterwelt wird uns so ihr nicht trauen. Doch Kate hilft den Brüdern und legt sich so mit den Göttern an. Bald stellt sie aber fest, dass sie noch viel zu lernen hat, überhaupt mit dem Umgang der unsterblichen Götter.

In „Die vollkommene Kämpferin“ von Aimée Carter zeigt die Autorin in diesem ebook was zwischen Band 1(Das göttliche Mädchen) und Band 2 (Die unsterbliche Braut) passiert. So erlebt man Kates sechs Monatigen „Urlaub“ mit James. Die Kurzgeschichte fesselt den Leser genau wie bei Band 1. Man erlebt aber auch wieder die Sturheit von Kate und das sie immer mit ihrem Kopf durchkommt. Das ebook ist in verschiedenen Sichtweißen geschrieben. So sind die Kapitel mit den Namen der verschiedenen Protagonisten geschrieben und so deren Sichtweiße. Hauptprotagonisten sind aber Pollux, Kate und Henry. Am Ende des ebooks findet man die Namen der Götter von Eden sodass man diese zu Teilen kann. Aber auch in diesem ebook erfährt man immer mehr von der sogenannten „Verwandtschaft“ zwischen den Göttern.

Fazit:
Aimée Carter konnte mich mit der Kurzgeschichte „Die vollkommene Kämpferin“ regelrecht fesseln. Wer wissen möchte, was in den 6 Monaten mit Kate passiert ist oder was sie erlebt hat, ist mit diesem ebook genau richtig!

Die Autorin:
Aimée Carter wurde 1986 in Michigan geboren, wo sie heute noch lebt. Bereist mit elf Jahren hat sie angefangen, Romane zu schreiben. Sie geht gern ins Kino, spielt mit ihren Hunden und liebt es, jeden Morgen das Kreuzworträtsel in der Zeitung zu lösen.(less)

Detouring from their tour group in Greece, James and Kate stumble across the Gemini twins themselves Pollux & Castor.

When I say best, I mean, it has the richest plot, and that the characters are amazingly well-developed through the course of the novella.

It took me a long time to get my hands on this novella, since it's only published in e-book format and my country doesn't really do that. Anyhow, I got my hands on it several months ago, and decided to finish it before I start The Goddess Legacy. And since it's an e-book, I read it on my phone whilst I was travelling.

Except for the fact that this novella helps readers to close the blank between TGT and GI, it also allows us insights into our main protagonist, Kate, as a person, and of course, Henry. TGT focuses mostly on how Kate accepts the fact that the only person who would be there for her no matter what is going to leave her, and that she has to work her best to save Henry from fading into non-existence. Basically, to be simple, she doesn't have much time to think for herself, and about herself. In my opinion, it's not until TGH that she starts giving thoughts to the fact that she is going to spend her eternity with these Gods, who are anything but perfect. And as she says, maybe, just maybe, deep down, Kate does know that they are not perfect, but she is willing to take a bet.

To say the way she stands up to Walter is impressive is an understatement. God or no God, most people just don't have it in them to stand up for what they truly believes in. Kate definitely has that, and what she does is so much more than simply standing up for Castor and Pollux. She actually changes the fate of Castor and Pollux.

Seeing Kate from Henry's perspective is new for all the readers, and I am no exception. To Henry, Kate basically stands for goodness. And coming from a God, that's beyond humble. What sets James and Henry apart, which I only realize until after I finished TGH, is that Henry has the capacity to change, and in this case, revoke his ruling, for another person, just because he cares about that person, and that he trusts that person enough to believe in what she is standing up for. I am not saying that James doesn't care about Kate. It's just that his feelings, or to be more direct, his love for Kate doesn't allow him to make the same decisions as Henry. James did help Pollux and Castor, but not because of Kate. Instead, it's because he is the very reason the twins got caught in the first place and he actually cares about the twins. By saying this, nothing like the love James has for Kate does not run as deep as Henry's love for Kate is implied. It's merely the fact that people are different, and what Henry and James have in them is not the same. Very often we forget about the effects our decisions and doings have on the ones that we care about, and even if we know that, we are not willing admit it. I think TGH actually does offer us insights into human nature, and our very own nature. We don't necessary have to change or give some really serious thoughts into that, but it's nice that this little novella reminds us of that.(less)

She stood up to Zeus (spoiler alert for those who didn't read this yet!) and she also focused on what she believed is right. She didn't waver or give into Zeus's threats, and her feelings for Henry also didn't waver.

Kate still has a lot to learn, but I think she gets a good taste of what her life will be like as Queen as the Underworld in this story.

Although the shortness of this story minimised my exposure to Kate, I still found her a little annoying. This is a girl who has been thrust into the world of Greek mythology, and she's somehow convinced herself that the Greek immortals must be 'good' even though they have proved time and time again in mythology - their history - that are anything but. She also expects them to display human compassion and empathy, which I consider a bit stupid because we are talking about being who have never been mortal, and over all the millennia they have existed, have been moved to help humans a handful of times. But nope, Kate wants them to act like humans, give people chances and generally be nice.Although she does represent a new perspective on the Council, but I still think she should really think about what she's expecting from her colleagues. What annoyed me even more was Henry's compliance with her simpering demands, but then, he's a husband trying to keep his strange marriage together for all of eternity.

I loved the twins, finally some interesting characters appear from Greek myth! I love that they couldn't keep their shirt on (but I found Kate's ogling a bit annoying - she is married now!!). I think I enjoyed Castor a little bit more than Pollux, only because he seemed more stable than his twin. I'm now even more firm in my assertion that James is bad news - I really hate that he keeps hitting on a married woman! (Yes I am harping on about the marriage a lot, but for me marriage means something, and Kate shouldn't be ogling other men, and James shouldn't be hitting on her, because no matter how young Kate is, she agreed knowingly to marry Henry and now I believe she, and everyone else, needs to honour that).

Wow, Aimee has done it again and blown me away with her amazing storytelling. I absolutely loved The Goddess Test which I read early last year after getting it for review from Netgalley and it still sticks with me as one of the best Greek Mythology retellings. I love the perspective Aimee takes and how you see a nice, loving side to Hades, something I would never have thought of before reading this series. Add that to the fact that I adore mythology, specifically Greek mythology and the myth of Hades and Persephone is my favourite myth this is the perfect series for me. When I received the second book in this series for review I really wanted to read this novella first as it takes place in between book 1 and 2 and I am so glad I did. I really loved it.

Kate can't bare to think how she will survive the six months away from her beloved Henry. They have only been married for a few days and she doesn't want to be apart from him. But she must and it isn't long until Kate finds herself caught up in trouble with the Gods again. When she runs into Castor and Pollux the gods on the run from the wrath of Zeus and Hades Kate finds herself drawn to their story and her compassion causes her to stop at nothing to help them. Even if it means facing the wrath of her new husband.

I loved this short story I thought it was brilliant. Considering it has been such a long time since I read The Goddess Test I was sucked back into this amazing world and couldn't stop reading. I read the whole thing in one sitting and I cannot wait to read Goddess Interrupted. This is without a doubt one of my favourite mythological series and it leaves me wanting more.

Kate is such a fantastic character. I love how strong and independent she it. She is completely stubborn and doesn't care if she is arguing with all powerful Gods she doesn't show her fear and back down she tells it how she is and won't give up without a fight. I love that about her.
Henry, oh, Henry. Although he wasn't in the novella so much I just love him. I fell even more in love with him and I love how he will put his pride aside to listen to Kate and respect her wishes. It just makes me love him so much and I cannot wait to see what happens when they are reunited in Goddess Interrupted.

A fantastic novella that I would definitely suggest reading and Aimee's writing just sucks you back into the story and the world effortlessly. Can't wait to start Goddess Interrupted. This is definitely shaping up to be one of my all time favourite series.(less)

I have to admit, I usually don't like novellas. They often feel rushed and unnecessary to the main story, and I just end up wanting more. The Goddess Hunt was different. It is only 70 pages long, but it actually felt like a fully developed novel to me. It starts off where The Goddess Test left off, with Kate and James about to spend six months in Greece. Of course James has a hidden agenda, and gets both of them mixed up in trouble from the very start.

Quotes from The Goddess Hunt

“You know that Kate called Walter a heartless bastard?"

"And an asshole. I am quite proud.” — 11 people liked it

“Henry vio como desaparecían entre los árboles, y tan pronto como ya no pudo ver su pelo oscuro, cerró los ojos. Estos seis meses eran de ella para hacer lo que ella quisiera; no tenía ni voz ni voto sobre ellos, y tenía que respetarlo que sin importa lo mucho que le doliera verla marcharse con James.
En menos de medio año, volvería a ser suya, y se aseguraría de recordarle por qué se había casado con él en primer lugar. Hasta entonces, la espina que James había clavado en su corazón sólo podía hacerlo más profundamente, pero como había hecho durante los últimos miles de años, tendría que soportarlo.
Por Kate. Por sus vidas juntos. Y porque no tenía otra opción.
-Henry-” — 3 people liked it
