Book Review: Windfall
by Karrde on Jan.03, 2006, under Books, Review
Windfall is the 4th novel in Rachel Caine’s Weather Warden Series. As fast paced and trendy as the other 3. A lot of times that would be a detriment, but quick fluff is good for the soul now and then. We pick up mostly where we left off, Joanne is out of the warden buisness after comming back to life, and is trying to play a low key life as a morning Weather Girl. But life can’t be that simpe for Joanne, both personally and on a world wide level. Her past in Las Vegas is stalking her, and the Djinn world is headed for Civil War.
This was definately a quick read, even for me. 342 pages in 4 days. The New Years break might have had something to do with it. But I probably found myself reading it more that I would usually read books. Probably a little bit of testament to that I wanted to read the book.
There are times when this series borders on steamy romance novel, and being somehting of a weather buff will definately help. You can see that she put her research into that area, because the weather explination usually make sense and are consistant.
