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.

Going into the series I was very excited, and I will say I'm satisfied with the story. However, I wish it had more queer representation, more than just the occasional kiss. I was also hoping for an epilogue about the founding of Kyoshi Island and the Kyoshi warriors, so I'd love a third book about that and Chin the Conquerer. 

Overall though, a wonderful read for Avatar fans! 💙
