Really enjoyed it. Some characters I'd have liked to see more of, or some relationships explored more in depth, but it's not always easy due to the format and it was still quite enjoyable.

I'm part in love with this story and in part so irritated by it. If you didn't watch Avatar, short recap; The Legend of Korra was an animated series by Nickelodeon that followed the new Avatar, Korra, a brown girl from the Southern Water Tribe and her friends, fighting all the baddies as Korra learned how to be the Avatar. In the fourth season, Korra and Asami walked together to the Spirit portal and before the screen gets black, they sort of kiss. Oh, friends, how much we Avatar fans screamed!! Our two favorite women get together? And it was such a perfect ending because they used to be enemies (you know, competition) and then they became friends and now girlfriends!!! My sapphic heart can't take all this cuteness.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I was expecting so much sapphicness here. And it was delivered! Oh, the flirt and the kisses and the small gestures! Plus I really appreciated the small conversations with elders that show us that queer people have always existed in this universe.
BUT it irritates how bad the plot is. Korra and Asami deserve better enemies than this! I mean, it not really terrible per se but it's not something we haven't seen before; oh he wants power, oh he was hurt, now he wants revenge and takes over the world. Okay??? Really not terrible, but after four seasons, this feels so flat and underdeveloped. Do better writers and give us a plot that queen Korra deserves!

I love all of the Avatar The Last Airbender graphic novels so I was excited to finally read one centered on The Legend of Korra! Turf Wars begins right where season four ends, with Korra and Asami in the Spirit World and then follows the gang as they deal with the aftermath of the new spirit portal in Republic City. The art was gorgeous and I loved seeing a little bit more into the world. One thing I missed was the commentary in the margins that the ATLA graphic novels had.

This trilogy was actually a lot better than how The Last Airbender started their trilogy as this feels like this would actually happen in the show. That being said, I love the new characters and I love Zhu Li's characterisation. Korra and Asami's relationship was also another thing developed well and it makes me which that we could see it on the animated show. That being said, I can't wait to read the second trilogy.
