It took me forever to finally pick up these comics but I loved this one! I like that we get to see what happened after the events of the show and I'm excited to see what else happens :)

Minus half a star for Aang and Katara's constant 'sweetie's (they're cute but I agree with Sokka, they gave me the 'oogies')

highly recommend reading this if you've finished the show! it dives deeper into the aftermath and perhaps unanswered questions that the show didn't address

i love the fact that there was still so much that hadn't been solved after the hundred year war ended. loved the fact that it picked up exactly where the show ended. however, i wasn't a huge fan of aangs promise to zuko and how it escalated, idk it felt like the relationship had backtracked a bit

also the intro 😭💗

Solid read! I enjoyed it, but it didn’t grip me as much as TLOK’s continuation did and probably because I’m not the middle grade audience. The main themes here though were still very relevant even today, and I enjoyed seeing how things played out. Will continue to the next installments!

I love everything ATLA and it was great revisiting the characters in a new setting. The story feels very authentic to everything that's come out of the universe before and so do the characters.

I only feel like the story maybe moved a bit too quickly, but maybe I just wish there were more to read 🙃. Can't wait to start The Search!
