*I received this book for review from the author*
This book is Awesome in a sad twisted way...
When I got to the first few chapters I was a little skeptical on where this was going and most of all will it keep me interested.....? Yes IT DID!!!
I really enjoyed this book! The concept of the story is truly authentic to anything I have read to date. I have never been so conflicted while reading a book until I read this one. In the beginning I was a bit thrown off by what was happening because the author just throws you into the story from the first page. Exciting, Yes! but it caught me off guard which left me questioning the the main characters actions because we didn't have any background information yet... Everything is explained the next few pages which helps the story build piece by piece in the next few chapters.
In Water we are introduced to all the main characters and a lot of information. I have to give Five stars to Terra for doing her homework on explaining the eco in the eco-fantasy! You can easily tell that the author either has a degree in biology and all things eco or did some insane research for this book. Even though I dont recycle much by reading I might want to .... Reduce->Reuse->Recycle

My favorite part of this book was the fantasy side of course! I love the idea of an Elemental and how Kaitlyn's powers were used and practiced through out the book kept me reading and wanting to know more about her power's and how they would evolve. Kaitlyn's powers kind of reminded me of Avatar: The Last Airbender which was cool for me because I could actually picture everything in my mind. The author was able to make the characters come off the page as if it were playing out as a movie in your head. The emotions were so believable that I almost had to put the book down a couple of times because I was so immersed in the moment that I could almost feel and taste what the main character went through...and boy was it a lot!! (view spoiler). I also grew to like the main character Kaitlyn and the supporting characters like Alex and Susan. Micha on the other hand was a tough cookie to sort out.Even though he is the sworn protector of Kaitlyn his Gaias, towards the end we really dont know whose side he's really on and we also see his struggle with what is in his heart and the right thing to do versus his duty as a member of The Seven.
My only issues with this book is that I cant really pin point what I really liked and disliked..if that makes sense.? I feel happy that I read this book but should I really feel happy? (view spoiler)
Overall: I really liked this book! if you like fantasy reads you will definitely enjoy Water!! I cant wait to read Air to continue the series because I'm definitely am hooked to see what happens next!
Cover Rating: Love IT!!

I'll have to keep reading though :-)
Have you started yet?

Sannie wrote: "I seriously do not understand that I am the only one who dislike it.. I must be weird. Lol"Your not weird at all. I had a hard time rating this book because some parts conflicted me but it still kept me interested and reading somehow. I was going to give it between 3.5 to 4 stars. I gave it 4 because I usually rate my books on how I felt while reading and this definitely kept me interested with fantasy side and the writing was good but weird at the same time.
I mentioned in my review how the book reminded me of Avatar too. You know what they say about great minds and all. :)
