P.C. Cast: Devine by Choice Review.

After reading the first book in the series, I had to read the second. Simply because I can't stand unfinished series. I'm serious, I can't... It's like walking in a desert and suddenly finding a fresh bottle of water and only taking one tiny little sip of it. Impossible right?

Okay anyway, back to the book. I'm not sure what I have to say about this book. It feels like very little happening over A LOT of pages... I love Shannon though and she does make a great character and she cares so much! But the story feels like it's spread to thin over too many pages. It would've been a lot nicer to read if it'd been shorter so the time between action doesn't feel so long and start being boring.

A lot of people have gone about the forums to smack this book down saying "sex sells". That is so not true for this book. I guess that a lot of P.C. Cast readers (or atleast the ones that have read the Goddess Summoning series) expect a realy juicy book with little story line in it. I must say they probably got a little bit disapointed, but when you read the book for the story, it's a nice book and you'll enjoy it.
But as I said in the first book, you'll probably want to read it in pieces and not all at once. (Although that's not what I did, I just started in it today and read it). What I kept feeling in this book, was that it was easy to put it down. Like I was in the story but it was easy to get back out of it, if that makes any sense to any of you.

I also felt as if my bond with ClanFintan was just disapearing; People who've read the book will understand what I mean. He just sort of feels like a stranger at the end of the book.

This book was so much better then I expected reading all the other reviews on loads of websites saying this book should've never been made etc.
This book gets a 7.5/10.

P.S.: the back cover of the book totaly presented a wrong name for Rhiannon, calling her Rhiana... Should this even be possible? Seriously debating taking the points for this book down because of this....

P.C. Cast: Divine by mistake Review

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.
