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 narrative being somewhat nonlinear was slightly confusing at times, but ultimately effective. 

I don't know why, but I didn't expect so much death in an ATLA book! 

Overall, an exciting book that managed to surprise, delight, and horrify me by turns. Filled with interesting characters and worldbuilding that fills out the world ATLA paints for us, I loved this both on its own as a story, AND as an addition to the ATLA universe.
