disappointed it cleaned up a little too smoothly... writing felt a bit lazy in this one?

but definitely my favorite of the comics so far just because i adore Zuko AND his mom and sister (not Azula, she still crazy)

Good fight scenes. I liked how Mai’s father came around and her attitude toward him. Azula is the worse!

This didn't feel like much of a conclusion, honestly — I enjoyed the story, and yes the day was saved, of course, but

Spoiler

Azula's still just chilling out there on the loose

. I really did like Zuko's speech at the end

Spoiler

where he publicly apologizes for screwing up and explains how he's going to do better next time

. That's something the world could use more of.
