I was sadly disappointed by this book! I loved the first two books in the Chronicles of the Avatar series, so I went in to this with high expectations. <SPOILER> There is way too much Kavik in this book, like it starts with him and so much of the drama and the action is tied to him, that I think you could easily forget that this is Yangchen's story. I really wanted to see more of her. They reference her battle with Old Iron and I know that this battle is already an established piece of ATLA lore, so I maybe get why they didn't tell that story, but I would have liked to see it lol! I think what I ultimately enjoyed about this story is what I enjoy about the world of ATLA, the struggle of a young Avatar trying to come into their own and fighting against the bonds of a world that wants to shape them to their own needs. That story has just been told better and in a more flushed out way by the other Avatar's who we have gotten to know...<END SPOILER> The writing is still well-done and I did not feel lost in the story, although at times, I felt that my hand was being held a bit too much.

Still a nice look into the world of ATLA, it is more stale than The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi. Don't look for layered side characters or a well-rounded storyline in this third installment of the ATLA novels. So far the only promise this era has is deepening for the Kyoshi books.
