Divine by Choice by P.C. Cast

4.0

Divine by Choice is another winner. I do think it’s odd that on goodreads.com it shows this book as 4th in the series…but I’m sure this is the 2nd book, so there is some confusion there.

The main character, Shannon, is pulled back to her own world and she doesn’t want to be there. She quickly finds that her life is no longer what she knew and has been totally turned upside down. She ends up stuck there trying to kill a vampire-ish monster thing she helped kill in the last book. Her mirror from Partholon, Rhiannon, is still up to her evil ways and practice of dark magic. The story, though a little predictable, still flows smoothly and stays true to the theme of the book. This like the 1st book is also a fast read and very light ready material.

Another excellent book! However, I don't understand why the Partholon books aren't numbered differently. I would have first read the three divine books (divine by mistake, divine by choice and divine by blood) before reading Elphame's Choice and Brighid's Quest.
Anyway, the stories are great, and I love Rhea, she's excellent, funny, intelligent, strong and goofy.

Maybe I am a prude, but I just could not forgive her for cheating on her husband. Healing with sex... I heard better excuses. :/

Love, Love, Love! This book gave me exactly what I wanted in it. I was so curious through the first book about what was going on back in Oklahoma and what Rhiannon was doing. It was nothing like I thought it would be but, in the best way. the only complain was the cheating! it didn't put anything toward the story, it just made me dislike Shannon. it was hella tacky.

Gostei do primeiro livro mas este foi fraquinho. Leu-se. E pronto.

This is my favorite book in the series. I like a little heartbreak in the books I read, and this had just enough to make Divine by Choice extra special. When Shannon gets pulled back to Oklahoma, I loved her life in Partholon so much that I cried. It takes a lot for that to happen, trust me. (Usually Jodi Picoult is the only one who can make me cry). But don't worry, Shannon still has her spunk and the storyline is even more captivating than the first. Her relationship with Clint is complicated and even the reader can't decide what they should do about it. I love the idea of people having a mirror image in another world. We get to see a little more of Rhiannon, and although I mostly hated her I also felt sorry for her as well. The ending is heart-wrenching but good, and the book as a whole is an amazing sequel to the first one that I loved so much.

Leí el libro sin leer la sinopsis porque bueno creí que eran diferentes diosas y este es el segundo pero de nuevo fue sobre Shannon creo que fue mas emocionante el primero y el punto que lo hizo mas malo fue Clint y su "mi niña" y aunque fue gracioso al principio se volvió irritante con forme mas lo decía.
