I usually don't start reading a series I know is unfinished, but I love these books so much I had to make an exception. There are a lot of loose ends for the second Yangchen book to play with and I'm excited to see how everything turns out. I'm especially interested to hear more about Yangchen's unusual connection to her past lives, which seens analogous to some kind of neurological or psychological condition. You'd think all these Avatar reincarnations would be similar enough that it would feel repetitive, but the opposite is true. Another great feature of the writing in this book and the Kyoshi books is how they manage to hold suspense and weight even though you more or less know how things turn out, based on their depictions in other Avatar works.
