4.5

Push everything you thought about Kyoshi from the beloved TV series aside and be immersed in the beginning stages of her life and training. Every page solidified her case for justice, doing right by her promises and ambitions. Fall in love with the unlikely cast of characters she inherited from her parents much like her iconic fans and headdress.

While she never knew her parents as well as her bending teachers, she found that she may not have been too different in idealogoy

Breaking the tradition of avatars being groomed and trained from young childhood, The Rise of Kyoshi makes you question what you thought about their role in the universe entirely along with Kyoshi herself.

kyoshi was abandoned by her parents and worked as a servant in a household. Her mentor dies in front of her eyes by her employer and she revists the memory more than once. These are the main motivations through the book
