The start and the ending were just perfect for me, they got me absolutley hooked and not wanting to put down the book. However the middle got a little muddy for me when all the new characters are introduced way too fast... but that might have been just me being distracted tbh. 
I would really want to reread and see if my rating changes.

the world building in the avatar universe will never ever disappoint. it’s so interesting to learn about kyoshi’s background; her bending, the fans, the outfit, the makeup, it all holds so much importance. also loved seeing an avatar that’s kind of feared ? solely because of the circumstances she’s been put in and how she kind of moulds herself into this figure seen by the public because of said circumstances. it was really refreshing as well to see her grow from how timid she was to this powerful being. 
this was a big upgrade in terms of violence and darkness compared to TLA where it was often sugarcoated to keep it PG and really caters to the audience/reader assuming that fans that grew up watching TLA are now adults. 
ALSO really loved the mini Easter eggs and references to TLA
