'Move over, Stephenie Meyer.' --People on Hunted
Product Description
From the bestselling author of the House of Night series comes the award-winning world of Partholon, rich in goddesses, intrigue and magic. Part-human, part-centaur, Elphame has always been different. OK, make that very different. The hundreds of shimmering butterflies sent by the goddess Etain to mark her birth were only the beginning. When Elphame is asked to breathe new life into the remote MacCallan Castle, she goes along with it (well stranger things have happened...) and finally she's found her true calling. But Elphame hadn't banked on her life being threatened when the bizarre Fomorian descendents (bat-like humans - it's a long story) return to MacCallen with their own devastating agenda. Nor the fact that she may have finally found her lifemate...at the most inconvenient time!

Format:Paperback
The second series set in the same world as the Divine series although set 125 years after the original. As you know by now, PC's writing is something that you either love or hate. I really enjoy her characterisation and the way that she brings the reader into the world through imagination as well as carefully sculpted writing. Add to the mix a touch of Irish mythology within this offering and its going to be an adventure that you were glad you embarked upon. One thing I will warn you about is that this is more a fantasy tale than anything else and whilst Cast's usual touch of romance is within it's the incredible elements that drive this offering forward.

Format:Paperback
The first born daughter of a Goddess Incarnate and a High Shaman centaur bears obvious signs that she has been touched by the Goddess Epona. Unlike her human looking siblings, Elphame is a perfect blend of human and centaur. People revere her or hold her in awe, yet Elphame begins to wish for someone (other than her family) who will treat her like a normal person.
On a mission to renovate an ancestral home, Elphame is not only accompanied by her roguish brother Cuchulainn, she makes some dear friends for the first time in her life; young centaur Huntress Brighid and scarred healer Brenna. It is in the MacCallan Castle that Elphame begins to learn that the Goddess Epona is watching her quite closely, and as Elphame's future unfolds, she meets Lochlan; the man she falls in love with and is prophesised to die for.
I liked the Celtic tones of this book and felt it was overall a very sweet fantasy romance. Although the happy ever after is achieved, there are some really trying times that not only test the young lovers, but also others that they care for. Elphame's character really develops as she overcomes the new obstacles she faces, as do those closest to her; namely Cuchulainn and Brenna. These characters are well drawn enough to really feel a sense of empathy when a particularly tragic event occurs. The further repercussions of this event may perhaps be explored further in book 2 "Brighid's Quest" and I look forward to finding out.

Blew away my expectations!
When I heard that P.C Cast had a further two novels to her Divine series, I was over the moon.
But then I heard they were 'teen novels', which put me off getting them straight... Read more

A good book, but predictable.
Elphame was marked by the Goddess from birth - part centaur and part human. She felt set apart from others and did not like it. Read more
