Rendition Conducive To 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... .

Having been a fan of P.C. and Kristen Casts House of Night series, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about trying out any of P.C. Casts other books. For the most part, I love the House of Night series would I feel the same way about her other books? While I do try to read many of my books in an objective format that allows me to see the good parts in each individual piece, I was afraid that if I became disenchanted with Casts adult books, it might ruin her young adult ones for meThis 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 main
I could not put this book down! Be warned that the second you pick it up you will be committed to a marathon read. The writing is witty, funny, and exiting with an awesome dash of geeky thrown in. The characters are likeable and relatable, and the author does an excellent job of giving even the smallest side character a chance to shine.The story sounds pretty straightforward: Shannon, an Oklahoma teacher, gets sent to an alternate world where she takes the place of Rihannon, the goddess Epona's
RE-READAfter reading this book some years ago whilst in high school I came back to it and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Enough time has passed that I couldnt fully remember what happened so I was still drawn by the story. I love Shannons character and I cant wait to continue re-reading her story in the next installs of the trilogy! This is definitely a recommend for people who love fantasy and Greek culture. While this is not set in Greece the descriptions of the
I rarely start a book that I cannot finish, but this one gets two stars for that reason. Maybe my expectations were off: I was expecting a humorous fantasy in the Terry Pratchett vein. What I got was a limp fantasy romance that I imagine the author giggled over while writing it. I rolled my eyes a lot, and got my smiles from imagining drop-kicking the heroine over the nearest cliff. I don't mind when a fictional character behaves stupidly -- to behave stupidly is human after all. But when the
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
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
