Wynde has built a world in which those in power struggle against each other, and the natural progression of their lives. Fen is a sarcastic heroine who does her best to keep up with rapid changes (including an attempt on her own life, being transported into an underwater world, and having a tattoo that speaks to her) and doesn't like to rely too much on anyone but herself.
A Lonely Magic is a little slow to get off the ground, after its intense opening. It's worth going through, though, to get to all the chaos and mystery that follow. Here you will find a diverse cast made up of humans and nonhumans, those grounded in magic and reality, and where no one might be exactly whom they seem.
The cliffhanger ending guarantees at least one sequel, and I'll be waiting for it.
A Lonely Magic by Sarah Wynde: 4 out of 5 stars.
