Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden - waves her hand to tame the most violent weather. Now she races against accusations of corruption and murder. Her only hope is Lewis, the most powerful warden known. Because he stole three bottles of Djinn, he is now the most wanted criminal on earth. Can she find him before the bad weather closes in?
My thoughts:
Honestly this one fell flat for me from the first page. I tried reading it, then I started skimming and finished it cos sometimes I hate giving up. Especially with my own books.
What's her name... ok I do remember it, Joanne is running. I did not care why she was running. Why she had a mark on her. Why there was a need for constant jumps in time. Why there were wardens. I just did not care.
Ok I am lying, David seemed hot and was intriguing. But that whole story was stupid too.
Conclusion:
In the end it was one big fail and I would not read any more even if one fell down from the sky.

Oh no, sorry it was such a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteSorry dude :/ Here's a cookie though! *hands a box full of cookies*
ReplyDelete*eats all the cookies*
DeleteI liked this series initially, but after a few books I gave up - it just couldn't hold my attention long term.
ReplyDeleteSo not gonna continue, and I feel sad
DeleteI'm sorry it wasn't for you, I haven't tried it, but I loved the outcast spin off (the only series I've read by her)
ReplyDeleteYeah I doubt I would love that one either
DeleteSorry this wasn't for you, but could you dig a little deeper on what made this story stupid? was it the main character? the story? the way it developed?
ReplyDeleteHonestly I read this one 2,5 months ago and remember NOTHING. The whole book was just so boring and now afterwards it's all a blank. When it sucks it sucks, everything just sucks that is the deeper thing..
DeleteBut ok the story seems to be what I said was stupid. And my status updates just says boooored.
But it was the whole on the run thing and the weather thing. And a freaky guy she picked up. And I just do not remember anything anymore. It was not memorable
Thats too bad. I figured it would be good since there's so many books in the series. Maybe It'll get better in later books.
ReplyDeleteI read what happens...stupid things
DeleteLol, good ;) It must have been really bad cos 2 months later I can't remember a thing other than a mudslide
ReplyDeleteToo bad it was that bad.... Have you tried her Morganville books?
ReplyDeleteNope and dunno if I wanna to be honest
DeleteSo you don't recommend this one? LOL So sorry, and I know what you mean about finishing something you bought.
ReplyDeleteLOL ;)
DeleteI just had to cos I really wanted to enjoy it
Shoot. Loved how you summed it up on how you hated this series. :D Even if you hate the book I usually love your reviews!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you do :D and some books just do not work at all
DeleteThat's too bad!
ReplyDeleteI know
DeleteI read this one a few years ago and it didn't grab me either...I just found the main character very difficult to relate too - she wasn't human enough for me!
ReplyDeleteShe was a robot
DeleteUh yea, does not sound interesting at all. Oh well you gave it a shot!
ReplyDeleteThat I did
DeleteI bought most of the series when a local book store was closing but I still don't have book #1. Everyone said t was great but now I'm a sad panda. I probably won't like it either lol
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will like it
DeleteAww bummer. I love the sound of this series and I have book one and two waiting for me on my shelf. I've read the first two of Caine's YA series so I enjoy her writing. I'll have to be cautious when I open this one up. Thanks B!
ReplyDeleteIt was the whole story and the end and then I saw happened next and was all...really?
Deletei actually like the cover, but too bad the story fell flat.
ReplyDeleteSo not for me
DeleteI totally had that 'what's her name' moment after finishing this one too. I never did continue the series, it didn't grab me at all.
ReplyDeleteGreat review.
Good riddance, I mean I am so glad I do not like every book I read cos I have way too many series as it is
DeleteI do love that too, I could never buy a book that everyone loved. Would think it was a scam
ReplyDeletehaha liked your review, I haven't read any of that series but I do like her Morganville Vampires :)
ReplyDeleteUgggh. I hate when a book is that big of a bummer
ReplyDeleteI know :/
DeleteHmm I did read the first 6 books in this series many years ago, and really enjoyed them. Very original and now insta love or other nonsense.
ReplyDeleteFor me it was just all meh
DeleteI've not read this series. But I did read the first...maybe 2 books (it was long before I started blogging) of her other series with the Djinn in it. I want to get back to that series.
ReplyDeleteShe ha many djinn ones? oh
DeleteI've only read the first 1 or 2 of the Outcast Season. It's a good one. One I'd like to continue with. :)
DeleteHm....nah I am just not sure I wanna read more
