Aphrodite in Phoenicia Rogerson’s book is a woman wronged. Is it common knowledge that Aphrodite isn’t your run of the mill goddess? I won’t say why, but she’s a bit special in this, and it sets her apart from the other gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. Whatever she lacks in powers, she makes up with her ability to talk men into doing what she wants by using her femininity and cunning.
And I don’t blame her for one minute.

She comes across as an incredibly likeable character, while the other gods, and in particular Zeus, really are not.

Aphrodite is written in such an approachable way, and I particularly enjoyed the humour. Her relationships with other gods and Titans, her role in fate, and her frequent return to it long after it had been passed on to others, were fascinating. Aphrodite’s relationships with Zeus, Hephaestus, Ares and her son Eros gave a human slant to her life, which was messy, complicated and full of mistakes she couldn’t avoid making.

I’ve never watched any of the Real Housewives programmes, but I imagine that a series from Mount Olympus would feature A LOT of Aphrodite!

WOOF. I was so excited to read this book, after demolishing Waking Gods in one day. I'm glad this book was a little shorter than Waking Gods.
Honestly, not much happens during this novel. It goes back and forth with flashbacks to when the characters were on the other planet, and the modern world. I believe it was supposed to be a current sociopolitical situation; it was obvious and was definitely eye-roll inducing.
The actions of some of the characters made no logical sense. Eva was so annoying and childish, I really couldn't stand her and it damaged the book for me. While the last book ended on the cliffhanger, this book made me wish the trilogy was only a duology.
