Narration In Favor Of 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... .

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 canI usually love Cast, but i couldn't even finish this one. As soon as i got my hands on it, i knew i had to take it home with me. A great synopsis makes wonders, and i was itching for a good book to get me through the weekend. Also, i'd read the other series by Cast and thought this one would be no different: imaginative, magical, with somewhat of a medieval feeling...Instead, i found myself annoyed by the whinning protagonist, who was supposedly a grown woman! I swear i did not see that coming,
My brain is screaming, "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LIKED THIS" but my heart is yelling, "BUT I REALLY DID LIKE IT!"I know. I'm surprised too!? But I enjoyed this way more than I anticipated. Wow.
I absolutely LOVED this book! At first I was a bit hesistant because I don't frequently read books where the main character is over 25, but in this case I was glad I did. I had this book sitting on my shelf for almost 2 years without reading it. I'm glad that I picked it up, the blurb at the back caught my attention and my spark to read it was once again ignighted. I really loved Shannon/Rhea's character in the book. Her humour and love for whine was brilliant, and in general her kindness was
I thought the idea of this book sounded quite good Im all for medieval type worlds and centaurs and enemies and castles and so I was pretty sold on the blurb on the back of the book. But I found the main character fairly annoying, and given she was the one telling the story, it was quite a drawback. She was supposed to be 35, but rarely ever seemed it throughout the book. The narrative was definitely more teenage-esque. She was also incredibly laid back about being switched into another world
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
