For what it is, this book is fantastic. If it was for a different demographic I may lower my rating a bit, but the story was actually very wonderful. It made me angry, and sad, and kept me coming back after every short break. Excited for the second!

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.
