Book Reviews of Gale Force (Weather Warden, Book 7)
Book Review: This series just gets better and better!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who were a bit disappointed with the direction that 'Thin Air' took, ie the memory loss of Joanne, then have no fear because 'Gale Force' is back to the old style, only bigger and better! Each new book in this series somehow manages to be better than the last, and makes the love I have for David grow even stronger (be warned: he gets a hot makeover in this book...) and my respect and admiration for Jo grow stronger too. The things she's been through and suffered, and yet she's still fighting! You'll recognise her spark and sometimes ill-advised comebacks...she hasn't changed. Which I, for one, am pleased about!
'Gale Force' opens up with everything, for once, being sorted for Joanne and David. The Djinn and the Wardens are peaceful (just about), with David leading the 'New' djinn and Ashan leading the 'Old'. Jo and Lewis are in command of the Wardens, and for once she has the respect she deserves instead of being hunted by friends and foes alike and blamed for every little weather malfunction! In fact, when you first start reading it seems like her only problems in GF will be avoiding persistant reporters and planning her wedding...that's right, David popped the big Q (ahh bless him. I want a Djinn)
However, while she is shopping for her wedding dress an earthquake strikes, forcing her to flex her relatively small (compared to her Weather and Fire powers) Earth powers to try and stop the buildings from collapsing around her. The Wardens soon realise that this is no normal earthquake however, and discover that they have a new enemy who isn't afraid to shake the balance up a bit...worse, the Djinn can't detect this new enemy and think that the Wardens are all delusional, even when a dead Djinn shows up...once again Joanne has her hands full, facing an enemy that David doesn't believe in, and one that can reach into a Warden and crush their heart in a few seconds...needless to say your pulse will certainly be racing thoughout this book! To use the cliched 'page-turner', and yet that's exactly what it is..
The ending of Gale Force leaves things VERY un-tied up, leaving no doubt that one or two more books in the sequal must be on their way! I don't know how Rachel Caine thinks up the stuff she does, but the surprises keep on rolling in GF and for once I'm not sure if Joanne and David are going to come out alright in the end...A brilliant read and I would highly recomend to anyone who has enjoyed the series so far! If you havn't then I really would recomend starting at the beginning with 'Ill Wind'. This is a series that shouldn't be missed.
