Divine By Choice (Partholon #2)
Then a sudden burst of power sends her back to Oklahoma. Without magic, Shannon can't return to Partholon—and so she needs to find help. Trouble is, it might take the form of a man as tempting as her husband. And along the way she'll discover that being divine by mistake is a lot easier than being divine by choice….
At this stage the series is still ok. Shannon is still in the mythical world and decides to play by the rules while she is there. She has a centaur husband, who is actually quite spectacular. He knows her story and loves her. However, I feel that I'm going to end up dropping a blah sooner or later.
Such a stunning and exciting read, as was the first book in the series. I always give 5 stars for books that are able to take my mind to another world completely, and P.C. Cast is always an amazing author to provide that experience. Her imagery is beautifully and artistically described; her characters are extremely lovable (some profoundly despicable , i.e., Nuada and Rhiannon); and her imagination is, quite literally, out of this world.
This is MAYBE a 2.5 stars, if I'm being generous.I liked the first book (although I didn't love it) and I was expecting to like this one too but although I tried all I could think was "not again".This just felt like more of the same and *spoiler alert* if there's one thing I hate is when dead villains come back in the second book, I find it incredibly annoying.

This book picks up with Shannon/Rhea a few months after the last one. She has fully settled into her new world and her new role as the Beloved. With ClanFintan gone for a month cleaning up the mess from the war Rhea is on her own, with some new worries. The very night that ClanFintan comes home she makes a startling discovery that will bring great changes to her and the world around her.While on a ride with her horse, Epi, Rhea discovers trees that seem very much like those back home in OK.
I have a love/hate relationship with this book series. I hated PC Cast & Kristin Cast's House of Night series, but I thought since this was only PC Cast's series it would be better and it is, but it's still kind of annoying and hokey. At some point the story will get interesting and I'm pleasantly surprised by it, but then just as quickly she writes something so awful that I can hardly keep reading.I don't really like Shannon/Rhea all that much. And I really can't get behind the idea that
So sad, I really wasn't sure how it was going to end. Love is a tragic thing. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

First of all I read the entire series but somehow skipped book 2. In hindsight I'm thinking that would have been a good thing. There were many elements of this book that were disturbing. The brutal rape of Rhiannon and pregnant Shannon having sex with her husbands mirror-image. WTH? She has a lot of nerve calling Rhiannon a slut while her own morals aren't much better. I just couldn't understand how she could have had sex with Clint. It just didn't make sense (heck she was only away from herAt this stage the series is still ok.
