** spoiler alert ** ** Ok, at first I rated 1 star, but now I've calm down, I know it deserves more **

I loved this series, but I was hugely disappointed with the ending.

The beginning of this book was like deja vu! Driving around chasing the Oracles.. hasn't she done that in so many other books?

I so hate Lewis!!! How many times did Lewis have to make Joanne go and die?! By either talking her into doing something stupid (which was for nothing really), or keeping others from going to her rescue. I hated him so much by the end of book. Then he's all glorious and the saviour and the leader of the Djinn. Oh, he didn't deserve such a good ending for him.
And, after all the harm that he made on Jo, she goes and names her son after him?? Oh, come on!

And, I really don't see such happy ending where David is still Djinn and Jo is still human. What? She's going grow old and die, and he'll be left forever young??? Honestly, that's not a happy ending.

I like Rachel's writting. I like Jo's character, it had the potential to be awesome, but the story line just didn't work.

Urgh! So disappointing...

Zoe I sort of agree with your comments about the ending. However I think I you look at Jo and David's characters they are bound to sort something out to remain together. Even if it means putting the world at risk again.


Rafaela That'd be nice if it was told. But the series just finishes there.

Zoe Yeah I wish she would release an extra or something :(
Craving more!


Rafaela Have you read the spin off?


CvanD I completely agree with you. I had started reading the spin-off series myself but stopped after I read this book. I'm just afraid she'll end that one the same way and I'll be even more depressed. If she could end the Weather Warden series in such an awful way, I can't hold out much hope for the other one.
