“The stagnant pool is immortal, while the clear flowing river dies an uncountable number of deaths.”
“As much as Kyoshi wanted to stay with her, in a single, frozen pool of moments, the current carrying them forward was too strong.”
Kyoshi and Rangi make my heart ache.

This was so much fun! (And so damn SAD)
I feel really bad for Kyoshi but I just love how dark this was.
Every time I remembered the Kyoshi warriors, it made me emotional, because Kyoshi was truly amazing and fearsome and this young version of her would've been so happy to know about them.

The thing I love most about this book (other than Kyoshi herself) is the fact that it explores corruption and personal meanings of justice, (but literally Avatar always does this). But it’s about Kyoshi so it’s extra good. :3 I cried on multiple occasions and I’m a little ticked off at the cliff hanger…but it’s whatever. Reading Kyoshi grow as a person and recognize her role as the avatar was such an amazing journey because not only did we see the meaningful bonds she created, she also became comfortable in her own body and person. Before she had this tendency to sink back and make herself as small as possible as not to take up space (I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think that worked seeing as she’ll literally like 195 cm), but as she started shaping herself to fit the molds of an avatar she didn’t do that anymore!! I love her. Also the little love story between Kyoshi and Rangi was sooooooooooooo cute omg. T^T

Had a great time reading this, and I’m excited to read the 2nd one! I really enjoyed it.
I’m always surprised when I remember that y/a novels deal with such dark, real themes. I shouldn’t be, it’s always been like that. But it was a pleasant surprise. They deal with so much loss and corruption in this book, it’s astonishing and inspiring. Their resilience is admirable.
There were many twists and turns in this book that I wasn’t fully expecting. I really enjoyed the ride, especially near the end. I do hope this gets turned into another animated series, I’d love to see these characters on screen. No live action please.
I hope others read this too. It was really nice to jump back into this world that I love so much, be back around the benders.

As big of a fan I am of a:tla (and believe me, this children’s animated series is my main talking point at any hangout) I was hesitant about this book. Because I haven’t liked any of the Avatar spin-offs so far.
But… surprise! I really did like it for once!
I loved getting to see Kyoshi’s backstory and how she became one of the strongest avatars in the whole cycle. And though this particular book read a bit fan fiction-y it was still quite enjoyable.
I also loved Kyoshi’s companions; this Team Avatar was particularly amazing. All of them had their own personalities and quirks (unlike, cough, Korra’s) which made them quite loveable.
I even liked the romance… in Avatar! Who would’ve thought. I love my bisexual queen.
Again. Very fan fiction-y. But you know.
44. A book related in some way to a tv show/series or movie you enjoyed (same topic, same era, book appeared in the show/movie, etc.)
