Searching for gods isn’t easy, especially when they don’t want to be found.A quiet life is what Hathor deserves now that fewer people remember her name. But when another goddess enlists her to the fight against spreading chaos, she finds herself out in the world for the first time in thousands of years. Finding the other gods turns out to be the least of her worries. Somehow, she has to convince … worries. Somehow, she has to convince them to actually help her, and that’s not as easy as she’d hoped.

Quest Of The Goddess by Laura Greenwood is a wonderful story that I have read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I am so hooked on and I can not wait to read the rest of this series that I am so in love with. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about romance, fantasy and paranormal romances.

I read a variety of genres but I am an old-world mythology geek. This adventure with Hathor is right up my alley. An old god who no longer has any followers who have been recruited to contact other old gods in order to save the world. The mystery and intrigue of whom she’s slept with if one of them was her son, and does she REALLY have a temper when provoked? All this to confront an unruly God. What a great read I thoroughly enjoyed.
I love reading about the Gods and Goddesses. Hathor is a wonderful character and in her quest to form an alliance of the Gods to battle Seth’s chaos, her determination to complete her quest and save the world is apparent. I loved the new friendships she forged and the betrayal she faced broke my heart for her. I mean she’s kept to herself and not let anyone close for years and she finally begins to consider a relationship and it doesn’t work the way she hoped.
Our heroine is a goddess of Ancient Egypt, called upon for a new task after many years away. Adjusting to new things is not always easy.
This is book one of the series.
This is a rather intriguing paranormal story based around the pantheon of Egyptian gods. That alone was enough to get my attention as I enjoy reading more with that background. It also helps that the story is well written, easy to read and filled with bits of humor that help keep things light and entertaining. I really enjoyed our heroine and the story overall and am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
Highly recommended

Surprisingly Funny Quest
I have enjoyed most of the books I have read by Ms. Greenwood, but I found myself particularly amused by this book. The description makes it sound serious—and the threat to the book’s world is—but the author has imbued this book with an incredible amount of dry, tongue-in-cheek wit. I found myself laughing at things Hathor thought and the conversations she had with the men on her quest. She didn’t have as good of a relationship with people as she might have thought, though I don’t think she really cared. The setup of this appears to be the classic fight of good versus evil, cast in terms of justice (Ma’at, who sends Hathor on the quest) and chaos (Set, called Seth here). I’m happy the author included a list of the Egyptian gods and goddesses—including what they were known for and family ties—as well as a few Egyptian words. The character list helped me frame the book, as my knowledge of the Egyptian pantheon is a little rusty. This is not a complete book in itself but is the first part of what will probably shape up to be a funny and epic battle between the Egyptian gods. This book was a lot of fun, and I look forward to the next.

Quest Of The Goddess is the first book in the Queen Of Gods Trilogy from Laura Greenwood’s books based on Ancient Egyptian Mythology.
Hathor is the Goddess of many things, in fact many believe she was considered the primeval goddess from whom all others were derived; which I found intriguing. The story is creative and was well written as were all the rest and involves a colorful cast of characters as well as amazing world building and my interest was captured right from the first line. I then wanted to know all about Hathor’s story.
I can’t wait to read more in this series.

With this new trilogy, we get to delve into Egyptian mythology and since this was not something I was really familiar with I found everything quite interesting, especially the names! Lots of action, deception, godly intrigue, and a history lesson presented in a way that we all wish we could have gotten it when we were back in school! lol! Hang on because we are in for a wild ride!!

This was a fun and interesting book to read. It sets up the series beautifully as the common gods and goddesses of mythology are alive and well but with a bit of a problem building being caused by Seth. I liked the simple plot of good vs evil but with very interesting characters. The story easily sucked me in and I had to see what Hathor and the rest would do. The setup was entertaining and kept me reading. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
I loved this story taken straight from the pages of Egyptian history! Greenwood has such a way with words and I have loved all of her stories. This has to be a personal favorite as I love anything mythology related and this story doesn’t disappoint!

Quest of the Goddess is book one in The Queen of Gods Trilogy and I loved the characters, their interactions and the banter between them. This is a well written, action packed story with humor, mystery, intriguing characters and twists that pulled me in and held my attention until the last page. I love reading anything about mythology so now I anxiously await book two.
The Gods are choosing sides. The God Seth is trying to take over and is gaining more power. Hathor has been asked to get four powerful Gods on the side against Seth, and it is an uphill battle. Most of these Gods haven’t done anything in thousands of years, and now that humans don’t believe in them or pray to them, they have lost some of their power. Hathor is the Goddess of love, motherhood, dance, and several other powers, but she hasn’t had a lover in years. One of the Gods she needs to recruit wants her and she is intrigued. But what will happen when she finds out he is using her and has lied. He is the enemy and has aligned with Seth? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Quest of the Goddess by Laura Greenwood is the first book in The Queen of Gods trilogy. I loved this story. I am a big fan of mythology and this Egyptian mythology storyline was right up my alley! We are presented the Gods and Goddesses at a turning point in their existence. No longer as revered and sought out as the true deities, their magic is dwindling and dissent threatens to split them into factions. Hathor is charged with finding four Gods, thought to be her consorts, and talking them into joining Ma’at’s side to fight against Seth (Set). This is more than a good vs evil (or in this case Justice vs Chaos) fight and Hathor is about to be plunged right into the middle of it. A fun read with familiar Gods and Goddesses that are wonderfully flawed and emotionally disinterested… until they aren’t. There is no resolution in this book, there is a magnificent set-up for the next book Trust Of The Goddess.

The story line was good, the character work was great and the book had a smooth flow to it. This was a great start to a series and I was entertained from beginning to end.

Life has been quiet for ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor for a few thousand years. Since she is the goddess of many things, people don’t know what to pray for to her and she has mostly been forgotten, which suits her just fine. Then one day Ma’at, the goddess of justice, came to see her. They were having issues with the rogue god Seth, and chaos in the world seemed to be giving him more power this time. The gods and goddesses pretty much ignored it… until now, apparently.
Ma’at asked her to join their cause and she declined. If Seth got too bad, they all knew Osiris would go talk to him, and then he would calm down and go back to plotting for the next two thousand years. That’s what always happened, so why get upset? Hathor preferred to stay impartial. But this time, Ma’at told her that Seth had Mafdet’s support (god of justice) and Ma’at needed Amun’s support to balance that and encourage more of the “fence-sitters” to join them. Or she said if Hathor couldn’t persuade him, then Horus would do.
And Ma’at knew Hathor would help if she realized this would protect the mortals. Besides, it would affect Hathor in a bad way if the world really did fall into Seth’s hands since he would destroy all of the temples and carvings that depicted gods and goddesses who hadn’t supported him, leaving them all powerless. Since Hathor had just been inadvertently committed to this cause despite her resistance, Ma’at asked her to persuade Atum and Khonsu too! It looked like she was going to have to bring together her four consorts to fight on Ma’at’s side against Seth’s chaos! But some of them are very stubborn. Her task will not be easy. She’ll be out in the world for the first time in thousands of years, and she still will have to find her consorts and get their commitment too! But maybe the slow burn romance that starts to sizzle between Hathor and Amun will make it a worthwhile endeavor! Is she ready to do all she can for the cause?
What a great start to a new series by this author. I love how it’s based on Egyptian mythology and even though it’s fiction, there’s no way you can’t help but wonder if it’s also real. The characters are lovable and quirky.
Hathor wants nothing more than quiet obscurity know that she is a lesser known goddess
So naturally she is pulled into the thick of things in struggles of epic proportions
Steamy action and adventure

*Spoiler Alert*
With a war brewing caused by the God Seth the Goddess Hathor (FMC) gets involved and entrusted with a nearly impossible task. To get the help of four gods. Not as easy as it sounds. A stubborn, argumentative – Horus is a particularly tricky god & the Atum was not only unhelpful but down right rude. I loved Khonsu though. Hes witty and funny. I havent made my mind up about Amun yet. Less so after that ending? I love books about Gods and Goddesses but usually the greek ones. This is the first book ive read about Egyptian ones and im pretty impressed. I really liked Hathor. She seemed to genuinely care and was pretty level headed especially with what she was tasked to do. To change the minds of difficult gods. After that cliffhanger ending i cant wait to get my hands on book 2 to see what happens next. A great read
We have a short read for the first book in the series. I liked that she gave some background on the God and Goddesses. I did not really get into this book, but then its not like the books I normal read. So we have Hathor who has to get four other Gods to join her in a battle to save the people.

Hathor was approached by Ma’at about what Seth is up to. She asked for Hathor’s help in gathering forces against him. Hathor has to get her consorts on their side of this problem. Hathor isn’t sure who to go about it, it won’t be easy with some of them. Seth has also destroyed on her temples.
Hathor will have some issues with getting the help she needs. She has one person on her side, she will need to work on getting the others.
This is a good read to lose yourself in for a time. You will enjoy the Egyptian mythology as well.

Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses must combine forces to combat a rogue chaos god. Unfortunately, not all of them want to participate. It is up to one Goddess to unite her four consorts in order to combat the unruly God and save their people. She is only what she is believed to be. This was a pretty good read and I enjoyed it. I would recommend it.
