My Comments
I picked up the first Weather Wardens book on the recommendation of a friend, and I was intrigued by the world of the Djinn that Rachel Caine had created. It was unique and fresh and I loved that the magic in the world came in the form of talented people who had an affinity for different elements and could affect them accordingly. It was a nice change from the paranormal romances I had been guzzling up until that point. I’ve not had a chance to read the first book in the Outcast series yet, a Weather Warden side series, but am looking forward to it.
The Morganville Vampire series, even though written for young adults, were still a good read and again provided a fresh look at the vampire mythos and a whole town controlled by them, allowing humans to live there by sufferance and following a set of rules. She creates characters who you can empathise with, even though they may not be all human and her writing style is fluid and easy to read. The plots may not be overly complex but she isn’t afraid to throw her major characters into a tailspin and I have to admire her for that. Definitely recommended if you want a good read!
