Description In Pursuance Of Books Divine By Mistake (Partholon #1)
The most excitement teacher Shannon Parker expected on her summer vacation was a little shopping. But then her latest purchase--a vase with the Celtic goddess Epona on it--somehow switches her into the world of Partholon, where she's treated like a goddess. A very temperamental goddess... It seems that Shannon has stepped into another's role as the Goddess Incarnate of Epona. And while it has some very appealing moments--what woman doesn't like a little pampering now and then?--it also comes with a ritual marriage to a centaur and the threat of war against the evil Fomorians. Oh, and everyone disliking her because they think she's her double. Somehow Shannon needs to figure out how to get back to Oklahoma without being killed, married to a horse or losing her mind... .Rating Of Books Divine By Mistake (Partholon #1)

This book was frustrating. The premise and story was good. But the writing was... Well awful. Whilst it could be witty at times, most of the time it was childishly written and grammatically poor. Honestly I don't know how it got published. With P. C Cast co-writing House of Night, I can see why that series is just as appalling. Honestly she wasn't very imaginative in creating differences in the two series.Anyway back to this monstrosity. Like I said, the story was interesting and was the mainI usually love Cast, but i couldn't even finish this one. As soon as i got my hands on it, i knew i had to take it home with me. A great synopsis makes wonders, and i was itching for a good book to get me through the weekend. Also, i'd read the other series by Cast and thought this one would be no different: imaginative, magical, with somewhat of a medieval feeling...Instead, i found myself annoyed by the whinning protagonist, who was supposedly a grown woman! I swear i did not see that coming,
I was utterly disappointed with this series of books. The synopsis on the back of the book, with its promise of high fantasy and centaurs and Epona, a world with a somewhat medieval feel why, thats right up my alley and really had me hooked. The books protagonist, Shannon, is meant to be a thirty-five year old woman. However, the majority of the time she acts like a spoiled, whiny teenager. Now imagine having to sit and listen to said spoiled, whiny teenager through 500+ pages. Yes, folks,
Oh. My. God(dess). WOW!This was a fun adventure. It isn't a YA rather the adventure is for a thirty something adult. It is reality meets mythology/fantasy. It is Now crashing into Celtic times. I mention vampires in my tags/shelves but they are really Formorians. They are bat-like humanoids that are just evil. And our heroine fights them to the death in her Goddess-incarnate form. But that is what I would expect from a former English teacher!Got your attention? This is a great book and I can
My boyfriend at the time had picked this up for me because (again, at the time) I loved the House of Night series (thankfully that was five years ago and I've realized the egregious error of my ways since). Anyway, I was glad to pick this up because OMG PC CAST IS AMAZING RIGHT? Even after devouring five of the HoN books, I couldn't get into this one to save my life and gave up on it probably 1/3 of the way in. I remember liking the idea of this Partholon place, but other than that it was boring
Looking for something different than my usual romantic reads, I picked this one out in the local bookstore's science-fiction/paranormal fiction area. I've had experience reading the "Goddess" series written by P.C. Cast, but it had been awhile. Remembering how greatly I enjoyed that series, I was sure that I would not be disappointed in this one. I was a little apprehensive only about whether this tale would be more adult and less teeny-bopper. Divine by Mistake solidly landed my vote in the
