I seriously had no idea what to expect from Divine Beginnings. I wanted to read it to see what the world of Partholon was like, since I plan on reading the series sometime soon. And while it definitely made me itching to read the series, it did fall flat in a place or two.
The story is short and straight to the point. There isn’t anything that doesn’t help the story progress, and it was very easy to read. At first, I was thrown off by some unknown words, but when I got into the story, I want affe...more

accidental find from library
This is the beginning of the Partholon series. I mistakenly picked Elphame's Choice from the library and felt very lost. So after a bit of research, I think this is the book I should be reading.

Yep, that felt like a beginning. Though there is a creature similar to a vampire and I am not sure if the main character is human. I am not used to reading books about other humanoid beings. I did pick up that the MC's best friend was centaur. It was an okay read. I am going to find the sext in the ser...more

The begining of a beautiful saga. I am glad that I was able to read this book. I have already read the other books, and reading this short book really melts my heart, and makes me want to reread the whole series all over again. I am not sure if this story is e-book only or if it is out in paper back, but it is well worth the money.
This whole series is very refreshing

When I first thought of reading this series, I was hesitant. When I first saw this on BN.com, I thought that I would give it a try. As of right now I am going back on the website and buy the rest of this series. I LOVED this DIVINE taste. I cant wait to read the rest.

Didn't know this was a prequel when I was reading it. I like it for the most part but it felt too rushed and on the Nook not all the pages were complete so that kinda sucked. I do plan on reading the actual series though, so maybe that'll make it a little better.
It tells of the spark of humanity in the demonic and the demonic in humanity.
The cover is a liitle disappointing though. Used to the exquisite illustration for the books, i find it a little disappointing. But fortunately it does not detract from the story.

This is a short and sweet beginning to the "Divine" series by P.C. Cast, she sets the tone for the world in about 100 pages. I'm looking forward to reading more in the "Divine" series, I'd like to see how she takes the story along in this pre-HON series.
Really like it!!! Just hoped it was a longer!!! But still one of the best prequel stories I have ever read!!! I totally recomended to everyone who like a good story about imposible by society love!!! =D
Like all P.C. Cast's books in the Divine series, the story was great. My only problem with it, was that it was not long enough. It read more like a short story than a novel. That was a little disappointing.
I liked the books of the Partholon and this was no exception as a short story. It was nice to see another side of the Formarians who aren't *all* evil...just like any group of people/beings, there are good and bad.
it was a very short very to the point story, paid about 2.54 i believe for it wasn't worth that.. but it was a interesting very fast love story, it being the PRE quel to the others i assume thats why it was so short
I had absolutely no idea that these kinds of books were written for young adults. I like the idea, and I didn't think it was that bad of a book. I don't really know who I'd recommend it to, though.
1st PC Cast book. It was good- not long enough but my understanding is her other books do go into more detail. Think I will continue on with this series to get a better idea of how I like PC Cast!
The book was good, and I hope it's set up the start of the series. I thought it was a bit short, and maybe a little bit rushed. However, the Cast details are there, and I did love that :)
This is a short story and a prequel to a 3 book series. I should have read this before Divine by Mistake or not at all. This isn't required reading if you are reading the series.
Very good introduction to Partholon series.
I recommend to read this one before the others since the story happens just before the "Divine by mistake"

It added a little bit more depth & background to the Partholon story. It was a little side note, but it linked up with what happened in the first book.
Very short but I loved going back to Parthalon if only for about an hour and a half.
Great read if you are a Goddess fan :)

This was the perfect ending to this series. It was short and to the point, and very very enjoyable!!
short book pretty good paranormal romance like the historical info. and descriptions author provides
It was a nice introduction into the world and creatures that dominated the other 5 books
really good too short, would have loved to have read it
before all the others!
before all the others!
There was nothing really wrong with it. It was a nice addition.
Very short prequel to the series but very good none the less.
Makes me want to go back and read the trilogy again.
i love it .... like the rest of that tale.
Enjoyed it, but story and characters could have been a little more flushed out.
This was WAY To short. Could have been an entire book with more depth. It was a nice lead into the Divine by Mistake book so read it first but it is a quick read and more like a short story.
Nu
Really enjoyed this. Wish I had found it before I read the rest of the series as it really ties them together.
