Thin Air

Good series, but things are becoming a little to convient for the character. The "on-the-run" is also becoming over done. I'll keep reading, but I'm just a bit apprehensive for futuree novels.

Thin Air

OMG!!!! Go back to book one in this series. Do not start here. Rachel Caine is wonderful. This series is great - I love all the characters. It has been enjoyable watching them evolve. Hurry and read them all the next installment comes out soon.

A good next step in the series

It was interesting reading a book that is number six in a series that essentially starts the story over in many ways. I admit I didn't go back and read any of the other 5 before starting this latest offering of Ms. Caine, and so basically entered the book as amnesial as the main character. This does mean that I may have lost some of the undertones, but I also think it helped me come into the story with a similar sense of faint familiarity for the characters, yet without being able to unroll their entire history from memory.
Her writing style continues to entertain, and I still like her heroine [as well as some of the sidekicks]. Ms. Caine is clearly trying to keep her style fresh, and hasn't dipped too far into the romance side of what has become an interesting paranormal story on its own. Good work, and a good continuation.
Perhaps the best thing I will comment on is that Ms. Caine is still ptting together books that have a story that is encompassed by the book. Yes, there is a larger arc going on, but there is still a story that starts on page 1 and ends with the back cover. This one is far closer to violating my preference for one book, one story, since it starts where the last one left off, but there are still resolution points, and things happen within the story.

Mostly Review

This one was just ok for me. Too much "review." Most of the book centered on Jo finding her memories, and since she had none, we had to be re-introduced to everyone again. On the one hand, I see where it fit with the storyline. On the other hand....why write that storyline??? Don't I already know all this? What was the point of telling me this all over again? Caine must have felt we all needed to review everything before she moved on. I don't know.

What I do know is that I really had a difficult time sticking with this one. The entire book really felt like an intro to the next story, and not like a book that could stand on its own.

And....ok, maybe I'm being picky. And, maybe I'm not remembering things correctly from the several times I've stayed in Las Vegas. But....seems to me that if...as the book says....you're staying in a room in Vegas, and you can see a Sphinx's butt pointing at you, your window slopes, and if you look out your window, the building looks like a pyramid, the hospitality book would read LUXOR and not MGM GRAND. Maybe it's just a small mistake, but it bugged me a LOT. (Maybe because I just stayed at the Luxor myself.) I would like to think she or her editor would have researched that one and fixed it before it went to print. Hopefully it will be caught before the next printing.

Weather Warden Baldwin is Back on Track

This is a much better book than its predecessor! The story moves along at breakneck speed and there are lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way. The memory-aspect of the book is done well, and Rachel Caine's method of revealing bits of Joanne's past by delving memories out of other characters' minds let's us see Joanne Baldwin in a new light, as others in the cast see her.

Good action, strong story line, and believable dialogue make this a winner.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

After preventing Mother Earth from destroying the planet, Joanne Baldwin lost her memories thanks to Ashan the djinn-and they will remain lost forever unless Joanne can recover her identity-and destroy the demon who is impersonating her, fabulous shoes and all...
