Book Reviews of A Chalice of Wind (Balefire, No. 1)
Book Review: wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a big Cate Tiernan fan having loved her Wicca/Sweep series so I got this book as soon as I could. I must admit that I found it a bit hard to get into for the first couple of chapters as the pov changes from Thais to Clio (the twin witches in the story) to other members of the Trieze (the coven). I'm glad I perservered cos by the middle of this book I was hooked. This book certainly isn't a copy of her sweep series it's got darker overtones straight from the beginning and the girls are both slightly older making a difference from sweep.
The magic in this series is different too but it is still exciting and interesting and as Thais has had no contact with magic til she meets her twin sister by accident we are able to learn about it alongside her without feeling that stuff has been put into the story just to explain to us.
I read the second book as soon as I finished this one and i'm online now to pre-order the third.
If you liked sweep and cate tiernan than I would definately recommend you buy this one and if you've never heard of her but like supernatural stories then give this one a go!
A great start to the series I can't wait for more.
