I tore through this book in a total of two sittings and afterward I had sweat completely through my shirt, had to change and lie down to stare at the wall for thirty minutes. Every single strength of FC Yee’s writing style shines brilliantly on each page.

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.

3.75 stars.

- The Shadow of Kyoshi was more evenly paced than Book 1.
- Rangi and Kyoshi <3
- This book emphasizes that the Avatars are still human & make mistakes. I can't wait to start The Dawn of Yangchen!
