** I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **I have to start off by saying that I am always a little leery of epic saga's that are broken into three books. The first one tends to be great, the 2nd one dull and full of filler, while the last one gives a climax and wraps everything up. Personally I tend to lose interest after the second one but "Unseen" has broken that mold!Melissa Pearl has delivered a fabulous 2nd edition in the Elements Trilogy.  What I love about this author is that she grows with each new piece she produces. Her characters have more depth and yet are still relatable.This story picks up right where it left off and my heart goes out to Jethro and Kyla.  Their plight is expanded on as the young adults have to battle with their love for each other and what is expected of them. It's easy to get wrapped up in their emotions and be sympathetic with the struggles that they are facing.  While I really want to hate Athra for his betrayal I can't because of how his story unfolds - don't worry no spoilers - but I have to say I am surprised by how things are unfolding and I can't wait to see how his time line wraps up.The new element children are just as corky as the original two but are a little older with more maturity. This enriched the plot and it was interesting to read how harrowing their journey has been.I do have to scream one word with glee "DRAGONS". I wasn't really expecting it - I don't know why - but I love it. I have my opinions on how they will play in the last episode but I guess I will have to wait and see if I am right.Every time I think I know where this story is going to lead and start to feel a smidge of predictability it veers just enough to make me reconsider and jump right into the next chapter.  "Unseen" definitely delivered which leaves "Unleashed" with some pretty big shoes to live up to and I for one can't wait to get my hands on it!!"Unknown": http://www.amazon.com/review/R123C13H81AVZK/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00DCEORZA#wasThisHelpful"Unleashed":http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AQPTFIMLHNBK/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00ECVHVYQ#wasThisHelpful
