The fun-loving, down to earth Gillie is likable enough. It was a much simpler story, not as dark, and very predictable. I just found I did not love any of the characters nearly as much as the ones from the other books and this one did not resonate with me the same way. That’s not at all a bad thing since reading about the same basic characters and the same basic plot would get boring. I really wanted to read more books like those and this book was very different. It might not be fair to compare this one to the two Dock Five books, but I can’t help it since I read this one after enjoying those ones. Soon she uncovers a plot by her old enemy the Fav’lhir and may be the only one who can save the people of Khalar once again.Īn Accidental Goddess is a light, somewhat humorous story and the pages flew by, but I just did not connect with it the same way as Linnea Sinclair’s Dock Five books. Gillie likes Mack as well but is finding it difficult to get close to him while constantly lying to hide her identity and the truth about how she ended up on the space station. Soon after awakening in sick bay, Gillie meets Admiral Rynan Mackarian, known as “Mack.” The practical Mack immediately falls for beautiful Gillie and her lavender-green eyes, even though he initially fears she may be a smuggler. Since she does not want to interfere with a people’s long held religious tradition, she determines to hide her identity the best she can. Many of the facts about Gillie have been forgotten, leaving a lot of myths that Gillie is not comfortable with. In addition to being the savior of the Khalar, Gillie is also part of the mageline, meaning she has telepathic powers that seem godlike to the Khalar. Her elevation was due to the “Sacred Sacrifice” she made in the fight against the enemy, the Fav’lhir – an act believed to have resulted in her death. That does not faze her nearly as much as the discovery that sometime during that 342 years, she was ordained a goddess by the Khalar. Gillie Davre, Raheiran Special Forces captain, awakens in a space station 342 years after her last memory, in which her ship was being attacked. However, as entertaining as An Accidental Goddess was, I thought the storyline and characters in the other two books were more complex and intriguing.
I read this book right after Gabriel’s Ghost and Shades of Dark because I loved those two so much that I wanted to read more by Linnea Sinclair. An Accidental Goddess is self-contained and makes perfect sense read on its own, though. It is a far future sequel to Wintertide, which I did not know until after reading this one.
An Accidental Goddess is a science fiction romance novel by Linnea Sinclair.
