A Date Of Godlike Proportions (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This mini-book in the Blooming Goddess Trilogy was absolutely fantastic! It was wonderful in assuaging my pain over the ending of Book 2 and gave me some sort of resolution concerning my favorite pair: Theo and Festos!It was a quick read that had me laughing from the first page to the last. I was happy to learn that our favorite heroine, Sophie, is alive and kicking and Theo and Festos finally get to have their second date. 2500 years is a long time to wait and expectations are set fairly high, and nervous butterflies are at maximum flutter. The date may not go exactly as planned but the twists and turns incorporated into this tiny book allow for a date that Theo and Festos will never forget. I don’t know if it is because I read the blurb such a long time ago, or maybe I haven’t read any reviews, but I didn’t know this book isn’t a novella; and I had lesser clue that it wasn’t about Sophie and Kai. That’s right! Sophie is out of it, just as we left her at the end of book 2. Nothing new there, so don’t get your expectations up in that front. This is actually a short story about Theo and Festos, meaning the date that was talked about in book two.As unexpected as it was I really enjoyed it. It was fun, sweet and lighthearted; and it was a refreshing break from the tense situation we left book two. It had action, romance, and the especial appearance of some of our beloved characters, but it was mostly about Theo overcoming his fear of not being loved for his human self. It was great to see both of them, Theo and Festos, from a perspective we hadn’t gotten the chance before, where their insecurities and true selves shine.In sum, it is a great read. It’s a side story to the real plot, so it’s not actually a must read, but it is a fun, revitalizing stop to recharge our energies to face the final book. I would recommend it to everyone who is a fan of the series.
