A Wind From the Rift is book 2 in the Price of Magic series and therefore my review could contain spoilers for book 1, The Ninth Sorceress.
After really enjoying The Ninth Sorceress last year, I was so excited to read the sequel and it did not disappoint. In fact, I think I actually enjoyed this one even more!
Kicking off right where the Ninth Sorceress finished, Gwyn thinks she is in the most dangerous place she could be, until she's thrown underground into a prison she never even knew existed. Trying her best not to call upon the red magic, she is intent on escaping the inescapable place, but what comes after?
Caught in a situation where she needs to play along with the Mancers to stay alive, she is torn between her need to escape and fear of what those inside the Syndicate could do to her. As she struggles to rein control over the dark powers that now rage inside her, Gwyn finds herself making new, unlikely friends and learning more about the sorceress that came before her.
The writing in A Wind from the Rift felt even richer than the first book. This series stands up so well as a brilliant fantasy, with relatable characters and fantastic world building. I had no trouble immersing myself back into Gwyn's world, even though it had been a while since I'd read The Ninth Sorceress. I especially adore some of the side characters in this series. There's some fun banter that contrasts nicely with the darkness of the storyline, bringing extra emotion to the bonds between the characters. The shapeshifter Lucian is my absolute favourite and I loved Tavi as a new character too!
If you haven't picked up this series yet, I'd highly recommend you do, especially if you love dark magic, sorceresses, desperate situations and unusual friendships!

B.P. Walter has pretty much become an auto read author for me. I always enjoy their tense and twisty books. I have to say the synopsisThe locked attic
