Temping Fate
Esther M. Friesner
3.5/5 Stars
I was in the mood for something light
and fluffy and Temping Fate certainly delivered. The writing was fun
and quirky and I finished it in an evening.
Due to the fact that the book was
fairly short, there were some aspects of it that could have been
fleshed out a little bit more. The one-on-one interaction between her
sister and her parents, for example.
Despite the shortness of the book (and
although there are no sequels), I would honestly watch a TV show
based on the ideas in the book. The basis is that the gods and
goddesses (especially from the Greek Mythos) need temps to help them
with their big work loads. The protagonist, Ilana, and her co-workers
all seem to have really interesting personalities that I would enjoy
watching on a weekly basis as they deal with their mystical jobs and
immortal employers.
I would certainly recommend this book
to anyone who is looking for a light read after reading something a
lot heavier and more in depth. Sort of a pallet cleanser, if you will.
Especially if you're a fan of the Percy Jackson books, this would
make a great follow-up read.
