Elphame's choice e Brighid's Quest, P.C Cast***

Dois reviews em um:

Elphame's choice:

She was marked from birth as belonging to the Goddess Epona but that didn't make her life easy. Because of her 'blessings,' she was set apart, worshipped, unable to make real connections with others. Then came the Feeling, and with it a glimpse of her destiny. It led her to the MacCallen castle of legend, deserted since the terrible Fomorian war. She followed the wordless call to breathe new life into a place long dead, but she didn't realize there were dark remnants of the war lingering in the nearby forest - victims and survivors who remained hidden. Her choice was now twofold. She could keep to the happiness and safety of her newfound home, or she could choose a path that led to something more terrible, more dangerous, more thrilling than anything she'd ever expected.

Brighid's Quest:

Rather than follow her family's restrictive rules, centaur Brighid chose to set out on her own to make friends and form relationships with humans as well as centaurs. Now she's facing her toughest challenge yet. While helping guide home a grieving human - Cuchulainn, her friend Elphame's brother - Brighid finds herself beginning to care for him. An emotion forbidden by her clan. To add to her troubles, the Great Goddess has awoken the power of the Shaman within Brighid - the first centaur so blessed in ages. And just as she's torn between taking up a power she never expected and a love she's afraid to admit to, Brighid receives a vision of a tragedy that might destroy everyone she's ever cared about.

Minha Opinião:
Como li esses depois dos da serie do The House of Night, não consigo deixar de achar que é uma adaptação do mesmo conceito inicial. Não sei se essa seria de Parthelon veio antes ou depois, mas os elementos centrais são muito parecido: personagem principal feminino, escolhido e protegido por uma deusa, elementos sobrenaturais, disputa entre o bem e o mal.
Beleza! Tem tudo, magica, romance, aventuras e mulheres no poder. Gostei, fazer o que. Não é nem inédito, nem inesperado, mas não decepciona. Recomendo.
