It's like the author forgot what was going on in the previous book. They were dealing with a reversing magnetic shift, but there's no motion of that, or of Joanne being wanted for murder, which was a big plot point in the last book. (And Joanne had no clue how the press knew about wardens when just last book her sister sold the story to the press...)
The media storyline sucked and I didn't like
We start with Joanne and David on vacation where he proposed. I know I'm supposed to care, but I just don't feel their romance. (Or particularly like David) The author obviously realized that Joanne knew nothing about him up to this point because David finally opens up! Unfortunately, most of it happens off page, so we don't actually learn much.
The plotline in this one was strange. It was quite different from the rest of the series. A group of anti Djinn ex wardens are using antimatter. Djinn can't see it so David and the Djinn don't believe it's real. The whole thing was just weird.
I really liked the older earth warden, shame he was barely in it. It also sucked when Joanne was out of commission, but at least her rehab went quickly. I wasn't a fan of all of the wedding planning.
There was this big build up about who the Sentinels were,What a cop out! It made no sense.
David has just gotten worse and worse. He had several 180 personality changes. Facepalm.

then they were led by the bad guy who died in book one.Spoiler
I mean, the whole plot of book one was about Joanne being wanted for murdering him, so you know there was a body.David has just gotten worse and worse. He had several 180 personality changes.

First he's begging her to marry him, despite everyone being afraid of the consequences. After she says I do, surprise, there are consequences. Then he turns his back on her and leaves. But by the end he's totally changed his mind again.
I absolutely love this book and series and the only thing I want to say is you should read it/them!!!!
The Weather Wardens is one of my favourite series from recent years. I like that it doesn't alway end with a tidy and easy wrap-up (easy for the characters to live with, that is).
I've been waiting ages for the library to get a copyof this in. So, I got it, devoured it, roared at the ending, and now I'm rabid for the next instalment. I might just have to buy the next one instead of waiting for the library.

I can't say enough good things about this series. They read really fast, are action packed and awesome. The characters speak like they're real people and there are some really sweet moments in this book too. Love it and can't wait for the next one!
Somehow I let too much time go by between Weather Wardens books. Probably because my library can be painfully slow about picking these up. Anyway, I devoured this installment but I do have to wonder:
If you took a shot, however small, each time Jo nearly died/practically did die, in this book alone, how long would it be until your liver waved a white flag in surrender?

I keep saying intense when I talk about these books but that's what we get. We get so much action and strategy trying to run the bad guys it's kinda great.
Then usually we get a big fight or two until the next book where it picks up for the next fight.
This one had a lot of fights, and some shocking twists.
Sentinels are fighting Joanne and David getting married. Djinn are divided, it's a mess.
I am diving right into book 8!

This is Rachel Caine's seventh book in the Weather Warden series.
Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin is on vacation when her Djinn lover, David, asks Joanne to marry him. She's thrilled to say yes, even if some others may be less than happy about it.
Unfortunately, Joanne's pre-marital bliss is ended by a devastating earthquake in Florida. And she can't ask David and his kind for assistance. Because the cause of the quake is unlike anything Joanne has ever encountered - and a power even the Djinn cannot perceive.
Joanne is becoming a bit of a Mary Sue in that she's always the one to save the day but it's never easy on her and it always seems to cost her so it's not like she's Supergirl.
She also doesn't do it all alone. David her Djinn husband, the Wardens and at times the rest of the Djinn, to shore her up.
That said this was a good book. I would however been mad if I had read it and had to wait a year or so for the next one as it's a bit of a cliff hanger. Since I come to this late I'll probably buy it next week.

ARGhh got half of my review written and hit the wrong key! All gone :(
So what was I saying?
Oh, its been almost 12 months since I finished Thin Air but finally my library got Gale Force and Cape Storm and I have begged them to put Total Eclipse on order.
The talents of the Weather Wardens and the Djinn are something different and lead into interesting situations with a neat balance of action and emotion. The world and the charcters evolve over the series and flow from one book to the next.
I appreciate that JoAnne holds her own despite David being such a large part of the story. Their relationship never runs smooth, but generates enough romantic wistfulness to satisfy HEA fans. The banter between the characters is always a fun distraction from the life and death battles.
The plot itself was fast paced, yet not absurdly so, and I thought the new threat was a creative and intriguing one. I do sort of feel there were a few loose threads left waving that I hope Caine will deal with in Cape Storm.
Can't wait til after work so I can start it. A great series that should satisfy PNR/HEA and UF fans alike.

In all honesty I don't know why I'm still reading these except that I'm hoping eventually there will be a conclusion satisfactory or not. Yet another episode of characters acting crazy and other soapy twists and turns. I'm finding it harder to accept some of David's decisions and motivations. Also, the way the magic works in this world seems like it is constantly changing and that the core rules we were given at the beginning have been drastically changed to suit the need of the story. There's mysteriously no mention at all about the magnetic poles shifting that was the drama of the minute at the end of the last book so I guess they fixed it, yay? The wedding and media bit seem so outlandish and seem like they just exist as a means to end rather than an evolution of the story in progress.
This book went from the romanctic (proposal) to the irritating (media subplot) to the shocking (the ending!). Caine series just keeps getting better and better. You think there's no where else to go and then...
