patchworkbunny reviewed Ill wind by Rachel Caine (Weather Warden series -- bk. 1)
Review of 'Ill wind' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Joanne Baldwin (nice normal name for a change) is a weather warden, someone who controls the earth's forces to stop mankind getting squished like bugs by extreme weather. I quite like natural disaster films so this concept intrigued me and I've really enjoyed reading it.
The weather wardens are technically human but are gifted with the ability to manipulate the elements; air, water, earth or fire. The only other supernatural beings are Djinn (or you might know them better as genies) which are used (read enslaved) by higher ranking wardens to help amplify their power.
If you think that your life is missing books that incorporate storm chasing and genies, this series is for you!
