Goddess (Awakening)
Angelini delivers on the promise of all-out war between the Olympians and Scions (reincarnated demigods) in this Starcrossed finale. With the Great Cycle nearing completion, the Olympians descend and wreak havoc, as Helen&#x2019;s various new superpowers cause an irreparable schism within the Scions. But readers desiring an answer to the most important question&#x2014;will Helen choose Lucas or Orion as her true love&#x2014;need to endure numerous past-life digressions and forays into Helen&#x2019;s bland new world called Everyland before she makes a decision. Helen ultimately defeats Zeus through trickery rather than sheer explosive power, which is a nice touch. Angelini&#x2019;s fans will be pleased. Grades 9-12. --Krista Hutley
