So I got so wrapped up in Windfall that I went straight onto the next book. By now you've probably lost all hope for Jo and David and are looking in the direction of Lewis again. Unfortunately, they're in the middle of a djinn uprising and things aren't looking good for the wardens, or even the human race. Mother Earth is waking up and she's not too happy with what humans have done in her absence. Great pacy stuff and I think her characters have enough dimensions to not be too predictable.

Trigger Warning: mentions of rape.
Joanne is back to her badass powerful self! She also discovered that she had fire powers now too. (Which was cool to learn about.)
After an intense and exciting beginning, Joanne spends the whole middle of the book going on worthless side quests.
I really wish there wasn't a love triangle brewing with Lewis. I don't like Lewis, but it's not like I care about David anymore either. Almost all of the parts with David were just lust related…
At first I was glad Cherise was still in it, then she kept flirting with Kevin. Seriously?! He's a psychopathic teenager who is always described as scroungy and unbathed.
Did I like Imara? Sort of? Unfortunately, she would've made a better main character than Joanne. (Since they're exactly alike but Imara has more interesting powers.)
The ending was good. Suitably exciting. The author does know how you write endings. That's how most of the books are, just okay and then a good ending. Which keeps me reading. That and the cliffhangers…
So I decided to read book 6, but I kinda wish I hadn't. Although books 3-5 weren't nearly as good as 1-2, they still added to the series. 6-8 weren't necessary and just drew things out too long.

Well once again the action never lets up in this fifth book of the Weather Warden series. Joanne is caught in the middle of a Djinn civil war and a sudden imbalance in the earth’s symbiotic relationship with mankind; consequences of thousands of years of meddling by the Warden organization. But she is the kind of girl to never say die as she once again refuses to walk away, back down and/or point the blame at anyone else. This was one hell of a ride and once again the ending leads us kicking and screaming straight into book 6!!

I read this series as it came out, and loved them, Im just rereading them now, and I'm unfortunately finding myself getting really annoyed. Everyone is so damned irritating and confused, one minute they're all fine and happy with each other, next minute shes being accused of everything under the sun and being locked up. And she seems ok with it all? Every time some one is a complete unreasonable asshole to her, she ends up just forgetting about it. Paul drives me nuts and made me wonder if he had a spilt personality disorder. Don't even get me started on Kevin. Oddly enough, I still don't mind these books haha.

This book felt like 2 steps forward and 1 step back. It was intense in a good way and we learned a lot.
But it was a long one.
Its a cluster fuck for sure. Johnathan is gone. David is all powerful but he is connected to the earth so when she gets unsettled he is unpredictable. Their daughter is incredible, she is part Djinn and whatever Joanne is. I say that because I think she is more than Warden, she has, what died twice? I think she still has some Djinn in her but that is just my thoughts.
So yeah a lot going on and I know I just gave a bunch of spoilers but its hard not to when the book is this intense!
Book 6 is going to be a ride.

Ok so the earth is waking up. The Djinn’s are no longer slaves to the Wardens any more so now they are revolting causing death. No one wants the earth to wake up because that will mean the end of the world as they know it. But the Djinn’s don’t really care if the humans die. The Wardens do or at least most of them.Its a cluster fuck for sure. Johnathan is gone. David is all powerful but he is connected to the earth so when she gets unsettled he is unpredictable.

Putting aside the personal chaos that has plagued her, rogue Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin must rally the remnants of the Weather Warden corps against a double threat-the Djinn who have broken free from Warden control, and a cranky Mother Earth who's about to unleash her full fury against the entire world.
This series has gotten better with every book. I really like her relationships with David and Lewis. Where that's going is anyones guess.
All the characters in this series are done well, mains and secondaries as is the world she's built. Only two more and I'm at the end of this series and have to wait for more. Hate that.
