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.matosapa's review against another edition

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

It was pretty good. I enjoyed the play with the Evil Twin theme, and I enjoyed that the amnesiac Joanne got to make a choice between Lewis and David. The whole idea of David's undying love for her while she seems to be playing the fence (this plot point, while it rings true to life, has annoyed me) was tackled a bit in this book, and the teaser for the next book shows that it'll finally be tackled head-on.
Here's my favorite part of this series (especially in comparing it with other contemporary urban fantasies): The author has obviously been planning her books ahead of time, making notes, and doing some great editing. The "world" of the series does not randomly get bigger and more complex with each novel... it merely is more illuminated.

On this episode of As Joanne Turns we have amnesia and evil twins. As the stakes get higher Joanne's powers seem to grow in proportion and it leaves her feeling very special snowflake. Aside from the omg look how special Joanne is bit this book also has a continuity problem in that Seacasket has miraculously moved from Maine to New Jersey. I also have a hard time with what side Venna is on since she seemed opposed to Ashan in the previous installments and now she's his protector? Plus, let's not even get into what the hell is up with Sarah. Idk I'll keep reading because I'm addicted to them like any good soap opera watcher.

Great book! After the cliffhanger from the end of 5 it was exhilarating to get thrown right back into the action.
