A Wind in the Door was the perfect continuation of what A Wrinkle in Time started. Where the first book was about exploring the universe, this one turns inward — into the heart, the soul, and the quiet, invisible wars we fight inside ourselves.
Madeleine L’Engle has this gift for writing about impossible things in ways that make them feel intimate and real. This book reminded me that bravery isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s choosing to love, forgive, or understand, even when it’s hard. The ideas here are huge — faith, identity, connection — but she writes them with so much warmth and wonder that it never feels heavy.
It’s the kind of story that grows with you. When I read A Wrinkle in Time, it changed how I looked at the world. A Wind in the Door changed how I looked at myself.

I'm not seeing how it connects with the first book. However it was interesting within itself. Somethings felt a bit unexplained however I think the author wanted it to be like that. The relationship between Meg and Calvin still seems forced.
I read a Wrinkle in Time a couple months ago and realized that there was a series around the characters. This was book #2 within that series.
While the book itself was somewhat enjoyable, the author talked in circles often and I feel as though the story moved rather slowly. In my opinion a 240 page story could have been told in about half the pages and not lost any of the meaning. Also be prepared to gain a bigger vocabulary as the author tends to add in quite a few words you may need to research to understand.
