fast-paced

The way it ended

with the mother of faces just suddenly agreeing to help and giving out three gifts

kind of confused me but it was great otherwise :)
I love Fire Nation royal family lore

this was EVERYTHING. we got almost all the closure we needed, yet it left some things open for future exploration.

im so glad we finally got to see what happened to zuko's mum 😭 it was really sad to see azula's state of mind, but it also made sense due to her absolute meltdown in s3. also where did azula go????

4.25

4.25 stars.

- I loved the easter eggs that tie back to ATLA and TLOK! I really enjoy how the Avatar Universe's worldbuilding continues to expand.
- I enjoyed this installment of the comics a lot more than The Promise. The Search was wonderfully constructed, especially storyline-wise.

I love this world so much & am always to excited to experience a piece of it again with every graphic novel/novel instalment I read. “The Promise” I had really mixed feelings on, I do have some on this one as well, but for the most part I really liked it. I love that it answered the question of what happened to Zuko & Azula’s mother, but it actually made me hate their mother a little bit in doing so. The decision she made to forget her children felt so out of character and out of left field & I really didn’t like that route at all. I did however enjoy the complexities of Azula’s mental illness and how it was explored throughout this graphic novel. While she’s the main villain throughout the show, this graphic novel added a lot of dimension to her character & made me feel a lot more sympathetic of her as a character. I still stand by that I hate how Aang & Katara are written as a couple in these & it’s making me really dislike the two of them.
