I felt the ending was rushed. The end job was introduced but not explained in detail. I. don't understand why Johnathan was able to lead all the Djinn...he was created just like David. Also, when confronted with both Joanne's, why not just open the bottle and see which the demon in the bottle goes for...book would have been done sooner. lol

not my favorite weather warden book but I know how important to the story it is so that made it worth reading.

I love when a series starts with amnesia, but I hate when a book mid series has the main character suddenly lose their memory.

The first third of the book, Joanne and Lewis are just trudging through the wilderness. Sadly, it got worse after that. First, we have the wardens treating Joanne like shit, then an evil doppelganger, then falsely accused.
Spoiler(Then Eamon is back, again. I'm so over him.)
It's just more of the same. I've read these storylines before in this series. (Except the doppelganger part, which sucked.)

David was barely in it, and I can't stand Lewis. Previously good characters like Marion and Venna now suck. We got some insight into Cherise when Joanne accidentally read her mind, which made me like her even more. The mind reading scenes were some of the best parts!

As usual, towards the end, it got so much better. Unfortunately, the actual ending sucked.
SpoilerI hate Ashan, and that he was suddenly apparently completely forgiven for all he did. Venna (Alice) was previously on the good Djinn side, but apparently that's over. (which is a shame because I actually liked her.) Then this whole new magnetic crisis thing came out of nowhere...

Thin Air starts exactly where we left off as Joanne blinks right out of sight and lands somewhere ‘else’, naked and half dead. Stripped of her memories by Ashan the djinn in an attempt to ‘unmake’ her from the world when the djinn plot to destroy humanity is stopped by Mother Earth herself.

What follows is her harrowing journey to reclaim her life from the demon impersonating her who hatched during the earth’s explosive and catastrophic reactions to the destruction of the ancient Djinn/Warden contract. Both David and Lewis are there to support her per their own methods but what I thought was truly heartbreaking was watching Joanne try to figure out who to trust as she pieces together her entire life and identity on this harrowing and dangerous journey.

I think Thin Air was one of the most emotional of the Warden novels so far as we see Joanne coming to terms with betrayal, love, grief, trust and pain as she reaches the final confrontation stronger than she ever was before. At the close
Spoiler there is still more conflict, more balancing to be done but our heroine is at least whole (and now a triple threat!) with David at her side.

This book convinced me that the series had peaked. The story was interesting at first but as it developed I kept batting away the lust sections and "reawakening" of Jo's love interest.
I started this series because I loved the weather warden mechanic but there just isn't enough to balance all the other tired cliches of a paranormal series - falling into trouble again and again, plot holes resulting from a series that is getting out of hand and increasingly complex, etc.

Ok now this book was awesome.

Joanne losing her memories. We have learned a lot, Joanne is gaining more power than she even knows. But I think it's all for a reason.

It was a little heartbreaking at times but in the right way. I am not sure how I felt about her sister until now. And it is not a good thought.

David and Joanne really have to trust in one another to make it through this one.

I can’t wait to see what the next book has in store for us after this one my word it was action packed.

This is the sixth book in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series. This is a great book. It starts out fast and never slows down.

All the same players are present. Jo, David and Lewis are trying to pick up the pieces from where Firestorm left off.

The secondary characters are also in full force. Kevin, Charisse, the Wardens and the Djinn are all in full force.

The bad guy this time around is still Ashen, and what happens to him and how he plays out in the end is very good.

This is a five out of five. I'm sure somewhere along the line I'll read this again.

I love the Weather Wardens, and its spin-off series Outcast Season, and highly recommend both to UF fans! One of these days I'm going to read the books in order, but for now I'm catching up on the last book I missed.

The inevitable amnesia book! If a series (or television show) sticks around long enough, it always shows up
