It's a relief to finally get an Avatar novel by F. C. Yee that has a real happy ending and where friends actually stay loyal and play important parts in the final climactic battle . I have to admit, reading the prior books partly ruined the mood for me all the way through because I kept on expecting betrayals or a tainted, Pyrrhic victory, so the highs of the book couldn't be enjoyed . And this book still has points that I consider unnecessarily dark for the Avatarverse, like literally having a tortured child kill a sky bison and then die himself. Yeah, that happened . It was an interesting book. I'm relieved this is the end of the series.
