 Review of ELPHAME'S CHOICE by P.C. Cast
Last month, she returned to her writing roots by revisiting the setting of her debut, the kingdom of Partholon, in Elphame's Choice (Luna)—and received a Top Pick from RT BOOKclub reviewer Jen Talley Exum for her efforts.
Set 125 years after the events of Mistake, the new novel follows half-human, half-centaur Elphame, the great-granddaughter of Oklahoman English teacher Shannon Parker, who was transported through time and into the body of spoiled goddess Rhiannon.
Since this is a romance, the answer to that last one is naturally "yes." Elphame forms her own Clan (a la her centaur great-grandfather ClanFintan) to rebuild the ruins of MacCallan Castle—and finds her own hero, the half-human, half-demon Lochlan.

Elphame's choice by P.C. Cast is an excellent novel in every aspect.
Her first book had quite a bit of humor which did not particularly appeal to me. I thought it tried too hard to be funny.
Elphame choice don't really have much humor in it though...it's just very interesting and there is a lot of action and romance going on...
