At first, I wasn't too excited for the Goddess Legacy, but I saw that many people were getting it from NetGalley so I thought "Why not?" and requested it. After reading it, I can say with confidence that I did not regret one second of reading the Goddess Legacy. It's only a collection of novellas, so I judged them all separately and all together, they made a fantastic collection of love stories that were all twined together into a wonderful romance novella that I really enjoyed reading.

It begins with Hera's (Calliope's) story, during that time when she fell in love with Zeus (Walter) even though every fiber in her body screamed against it. Hera was worried that Zeus was just playing her, but then later, she realized he wasn't, that when they ruled together, they would both be equals. However, Hera's suspicions at first were correct, and after a while, Hera was extremely unhappy with her life with Zeus and wanted to be with Hades (Henry) who she'd been in love with for a long amount of time.

I felt that Hera's story was really long and a little monotonous at times, but she had a lot to say. I really liked getting to know all these gods' and goddesses' love stories, and almost all of them ended in tragedy, except for Henry's, which, if you have read the Goddess Test and the Goddess Interrupted, the two major books in the trilogy, then you would know what happens with Henry (aka Hades in the Goddess Legacy novella). Every one of these novellas explained something in the main books, and I definitely felt "enlightened," you could call it, after reading the Goddess Legacy.

I would recommend this to anybody who wants to go into the Goddess Test trilogy more and experience the lives of the other gods and goddesses and how they fell in love, the turmoil they went through, everything. If you enjoyed the Goddess Test and the Goddess Interrupted, then you will enjoy the Goddess Legacy. No doubt about it, that is basically my argument to get you to read this book. Isn't that the point of reading a novella of a series? Because you liked the story and want to know more in between books? That is basically what the Goddess Legacy delivers.
