Having been burned in the past by the story gimmick that starts this novel, I wasn't holding out much hope after I got through the first few pages. However, Rachel Caine manages to turn what seemed like a terrible gimmick into a captivating tale that had me flying through the pages until just before the end. Looking forwards to reading the next in the series! ( )

What Firestorm lacked, Thin Air has in plenty. This book was such I thrill ride that I stayed up well past midnight on a work night just to get to the end. This book starts with a couple of pages from the end of Firestorm. It sets up the plot where Joanne awakens cold and naked in a forest with no memory. She comes to be rescued by Lewis and David but she can't remember them. Joanne finds out there is a demon that looks like her and has the memories that Ashan had taken from Joanne at the end of Firestorm. Now the demon has her memories, and looks like her, it is slowly taking over Joanne's entire life. Joanne has the ability to get into other people's memories now and we get a peek into Cherise, Kevin, Eamon, and Marion's memories. I especially enjoyed these interludes because they weren't long enough to become dull and yet the were good insights into these characters and their perceptions of Joanne. I like the changes Caine appears to be making and hope they will continue to keep the series fresh. By the end of the book there are four different groups that have to agree to work together at least temporarily. Joanne still has the tendency to have to be bailed out of certain dangerous situations, but she fended for herself here a couple of times and the rest can be explained as necessary due to her memory loss. Yet whatever the exact reasons, I absolutely enjoyed this story. I look forward to the next one. ( )

As usual, my only complaint about Ms. Caine's books is that I want MORE NOW!This was a great emotional roller coaster ride. Joanne goes through hell trying to get her life back after losing her memory in the last book. I hope this isn't the last in the series, because it feels like a whole new chapter in the Warden's world has just begun! ( )

Joanne has been stripped by her memories and there's a demon masquerading as her. With her friends turned against her, she is assisted by a djinn who looks like Alice, who tells her that her only chance lies with the djinn who took her memories in the first place.
This was a bit different from the others in the series, as Joanne was obviously not herself, and things had quietened down some, which was a relief after the furious pace of the previous novels.

A masterpiece that leaves you frustrated and questioning your characters until the last page. I have said before that the fifth book in this series was the absolute best book of the series thus far, although, I still feel it to be the best I have to say this is a close second. I did not know how to respond to this story, everything that I had known from the first five books was yanked out from under me in this book. I had the most undescribable feeling of loss when reading this book; with Joannes loss of memory, the loss of Imara, and the distance with all of her loved ones I was undescribably suffering with the characters. Rachel Caine has totally absorbed me into her stories she is an amazing author. Finally I must add she has out done herself again with this story, and I will be continuing this series with Gale Storm. ( )
