Avatar sisters😂. Sounds fun. It does perk my curiosity. Their powers, separation and reunion just sound nice in my head. I may have to read it.

Thank you for the in-depth review. The book has my curiosity peaked with so many questions. I do not know if I will read this one right away though as it sounds rushed and confusing at times. I will add it to my to be read list and watch this author for future writings.

Though the idea of four characters having power over an element of earth, air, water, and fire, I do think the idea that the four characters being quadruplets is unique. I would be most interested to learn how they interact with each other, such as do the elements influence their personalities, and how do those elemental personalities feed or dampen each other??? And the interaction with their male counterparts, along with how elements effect each other, would also interest me. Especially as the title is 'unbalanced.'

I really liked the sound of this book, but it sounds like it could have benefited from more depth. Perhaps, as you said, the subsequent books will flesh things out more. Thanks for your insight!

The sisters seem like they are well thought out and created characters. It's tricky writing a book with multiple protagonists but it sounds like this author succeeds in making each sister a unique character. The plot sounds very interesting as well.

The series easily holds the attention. The bad characters here are just bad and the main characters' outcomes are not always shocking.

About the plot of the Unbalanced, its easy and straightforward. The arrangement of the happenings is simple to grasp. However, the series is easily predictable. The personalities and actions of some characters seems unrealistic with similar effects. The episodes need to be a bit complex to improve the suspense in the book.

I would rate the book 3 out 4

Wow, this book is fast paced, with earth, wind, fire and water! I got to the end of the preview wanting the next page. Been a while since that's happened. I agree with a previous reviewer, the sisters seem well thought out. Based on the content provided, the pace and the way the author sets the scene, this book has the makings of being a thouroughly entertaining fantasy series.

The book is similar to avatar animation because of the power display, Water, fire, earth. It's a nice book to read. I will definitely want to give my time to this book.

This sounds like an interesting start to a series. I'm curious as to the four male counterparts. Do they have powers too? Maybe I'll have to read it! 😉

Interesting, but because I'm not drawn to the storyline, I will pass. I however like that there are elements of romance embedded in the fantasy.

Sounds worth a shot at least. Not every day that you get a book with 4 leads, especially 4 sisters as leads.
