I read the sample and was immediately hooked but after reading the review I will definitely read the book today! I can't wait to see how things turn out for the four sisters.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that this book would be about 4 women especially from the sample. Makes me more interested in reading it though!

Four orphans with supernatural abilities, finally getting together after being separated at birth is an interesting premise. This book sounds like it would also make for a great movie...

I read the first few pages and this book seems so interesting! I love when elemental magic is used effectively instead of trying to make it complicated. I'll definitely want to read this!

An interesting read so far. The four element aspect, while cliche, seems to work well so far to this. The Master and this mysterious order makes a person want read further. For what reason do they hunt these girls?

Though you rated this book is 4 out of 4 stars, I have a feeling that you're just trying to be fair and that you didn't enjoy this book that much

I love deep character delevopment. Four sisters with intriguing powers sounds like my kind of story. Thanks for the detailed review!

I like the fact that the author was able to build conflicts that eventually resulted in the growth of the four major characters representing four elements- earth,
fire, water and air (skilfully done). The conflict growth in character helps them to realise their potentials and face a common enemy, "The Order"

Thanks for the insightful review. The premise seems appealing. A pity about the lack of depth.

I like the idea of a story centered on 4 strong and unique female characters, but the shallowness and lack of plot development is likely to turn me off. I tend to enjoy a story and world I can really become immersed in, rather than something that is action and exposition-based.

It's a shame there isn't as much depth to the world as there could be, as that is an element of fantasy writing that I always latch on to. I am interested in learning more about these characters, though. The review definitely piques my curiosity.

Great review. I'm beginning to wonder if the book isn't my type of go-to read book. But I'll just sample few pages first before delving into the book. Thanks for the review!
