I was less into this sequel than the original, maybe because of the politics.

The ending was also too perfect in many ways. I still have issues with the writer being a man, but I would’ve loved to see Kiyoshi’s queerness more explicitly explored.

The challenges facing the new Avatar haven't let up. Still learning her new responsibilities, and balancing them with her oaths, Shadow of Kyoshi twists and turns from dark tunnels to shining palaces, bringing with it intrigue. I felt that the story was slow at times, but I think that that may have been to the story's benefit, as my sometimes frustration with the pace, where I wanted to see action, mirrored that of Kyoshi, who wanted to escape politics and get to fighting. Where the pace picks up though, it's a whirlwind adventure.
