While this is overall a solid book, it fails somewhat at the goal of updating Sorcerer to 20th Anniversary Edition. It handwaves many of the difficulties, such as the different abilities that are standard across editions, with a brief summary and several options, whereas what it could really use would be a table of updated dicepools, or the like (which would also be a handy reference for players).
That said, as an expansion for Sorcerer Revised, the Companion is an excellent book, adding/updating a few paths and presenting a wide range of rituals. I have slightly mixed feelings regarding the new Sorcerous Societies, particularly the discussion with Changeling seems to lean on Changeling: the Dreaming 2nd Edition rather than the updated C20 banality rules, as an example.
However, if looking for flavor for sorcerers and especially if playing or STing for them in Revised, the Companion is an excellent book that adds a lot of options and flavor to the experience.
