Joanne is letting the black tattoo take over at the wrong time. Going out to sea on a cruise ship of Wardens and Djinns isn't safe. This isn't going to end good.

These books just keep getting better and better. I can barely take a break to read anything else!

This series has been slowly going downhill but this one was particularly awful. I think the author wanted an excuse to go on a cruise, because that's the only reason I can see for this book mostly taking place on a cruise ship. Even with the huge threatening storm and these new "aether" ghosts, I was largely bored.
I hated all of the annoying occupants of the ship, and the big bob storyline, but the worst part was Joanne slowly going evil. It tainted her pov, making it dark and depressing. And no one knew if they could trust her, so she was left out of plans, or wasn't allowed to go fight. (or was healing from a previous fight.) Which made it even more boring and frustrating.
Lewis actually had a shining moment in this one. He's still Lewis, so he's still a jerk, but I suppose that's better than a 180 personality shift.
I like Venna. I can't help it. She's spunky and an interesting character.
I should mention David. Yep, he's still in it.
If this wasn't the penultimate book of the series I'd be tempted to end it here, but I might as well find out how it ends now.

This is one fast-paced book. Definitely picked up quite a bit from the previous one. I raced through this book because I couldn't wait to see where it was going.

Well, it's the end of the world as we know it and Joanne, David and the rest of the Wardens are smack in the middle of it. We leave them on a precipice at the end and next up is book 9, the final chapter of the whole series!

I'm not entirely sure what to rate this one. There's a moment when the book shifts gears, and you know it's coming, but when it does...
Normally I love a story where the good guy goes bad, even if it's just for a moment. But this one never fully gelled for me. Maybe I read it too fast? Maybe I just knew it was coming and wanted to see what would happen *after*... and poor Jo goes Dark Phoenix twice in one book. The second one comes as a shock and it gets pretty confusing around that point, but it's the first transformation that fell flat for me.
I suspect this is a book that will hold up better upon re-reading the series in order, but on it's own it doesn't hold up quite as well.
Bonus points given for how creepy the cover looks when upside down.

Sweet Jesus, sweet, sweet Jesus.
Intense holy snap. If I thought the last book was crazy with a twist, this one tops the cake.
I don’t know whether to laugh cry, or dive into the last and final book. My heart is happy. It’s sad. It’s incredibly shocked.
The political weaving and conniving that happens in this book is fantastic.
I love and hate Lewis for so many reasons, but this book. Oh, he is something.
Kevin, who would’ve thought I actually might like the dude even though he’s sick and twisted. I think Joanne kind of likes him too and maybe that is why she I don’t think the word is trust. Maybe mutual respect is the right word him.
I think the final book is going to be out of this world. Amazing.

This is the eighth book in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series. Good books all. This was no different in that it was fast paced and a fun read. Only one more and I'm caught up on the series. I'm not happy about the prospect of having to wait for more.
