This is the first book in P.C. Cast's 'Divine'-series. The book is about and English teacher from Oklahoma, Shannon Parker. She gets thrown into a magical world where all the people are images of people from her old world.
But as if adjusting to this new life style wasn't enough, she finds out that her mirror image, Rhiannon, was an absolute joke. She was a bitch to everyone and lets say that her entire guard knew her very 'personally'. She was so selfish that, when she saw an oncomming threat and realized that she was supposed to marry a centaur, she fled her world and put Shannon there in her place.
This book was magical and I just had to read it all page after page. Until a certain point in the book. About 3/4, maybe a bit more to the middle. I just needed to take a little break from the book and I did. But after that little break I started right where I left it and continued right to the end in one go.
I suggest reading this book bit by bit and not all of it at once.
The end of the book really got me interested in book 2 and 3. The cover art is really nice. Normally I don't metion this, but this time I really felt like there was A LOT of work put into it.
Besides, I never concidered a centaur as potential partner before.. Turns out they can be very.. Persuasive!!
So besides the little break I needed this book was good and made me warm for more. But I see it as a little bit of a problem for people who are less intend on reading a book to the very last page. Maybe it's more because I read when I have time to read the entire book and hate to read in little parts. People who'll read a chapter or two each day before going to bed, should be able to finish it without the little midbook-boredom.
This book gets a 7.5/10 mostly because I can't stand that I got bored halfway the book. If that hadn't been in there, this book would've had a top score.
