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.

So i realmy loved the first book, but this one just wasn't it. It wasn't as funny and not as romantic. I am going tot tell some spoilers but know there is infidelity and beastiality in this book. I hated the cheating... just no and wtf was that with clanfintan and rhianon..... i didn't like that at all. It was easy to read but no and i did not like hw the epiloge ended. I am so sad beceaus the first book is so good. I accidentally had read the third book before the this and the first book and i love it. It is just this one.

I want to start by saying that you shouldn't let the 4 sexual rating scare you away from this one. I felt I had to rate it that way because of one crazy sex rite done by our bad girl. But it's short and easily skippable (is that a word?) if you don't want to read it. Seriously, like one paragraph.

Shannon has settled into her life in Partholon with her centaur husband and endless supply of handmaidens ready to wait on her every need. The danger seems to have passed and life is returning to "normal" once again. But she's uneasy, and with good reason. She finds herself ripped out of Partholon into her old life.

I enjoyed this story, but I had some issues with it as well. Seeing Shannon come in to her own as Epona's Choosen and learning to trust herself and the world around her was great. But I didn't like the twisted love story that wove through the middle of everything. When she meets the man that mirrors her husband things got a little tricky. I totally get her confusion and attraction to him. But I didn't like where that always led.

Finally meeting Rhiannon was very nice though. I love how damaged her character is, and the glimpse into her past only cements that she isn't a truly evil person, but more a victim herself as well. She just didn't deal with things as in a very healthy way. Finally being able to compare her beside Shannon showed sides of both that were quite eye-opening.

A great addition to the world of Partholon, but I just didn't enjoy all the aspects presented.
