It ended to soon! DiMartino just introduced the new arc and right when I was getting a feel for the direction the story is heading it was over! It feels like this volume was shorter than the previous ones...

it doesn't really make complete sense to not only let kuvira out of prison for this mission but also to not restrain her in any way...it feels inevitable that things will go wrong, and also like this storyline has been done before. also I don’t know that getting toph to run for office when it's absolutely neither something she's interested in or has the skill set for is the best idea period, and especially not as a plan to thwart your popular enemy from winning what should be a democratic election?!

Holy shit, this was so freaking good. I was skeptical, considering I liked Turf wars but I can’t say I loved it. However the authors brought their A-game with this addition to the series.

Are we about to get a Zuko Redemption ARC with Kuvira? We better be!!! I’m so excited. I freaking loved her in the series even when she became power hungry!! I would be worried but these two created the best damm redemption arc of all time. I said what I said. If anyone can do a good one with Kuvira it’s these authors!!

Also and this is a spoiler but - THE ONE. THE ONLY. THE BADDEST EARTH/METAL BENDER OF ALL TIME IS COMING BACK.

If all goes to plan Toph might have a really big part in the next two volumes and yes!!! PLEASE. I love her so much!!😭😭

Of course, Korra and the team were also awesome and prince Wu is in this one. I missed the annoying little shit.

Korra and Asami still going strong and showing a united front and what healthy relationships are all about. I love them.

Overall- AMAZING. I need volume 2!!!

First of all, this art style is much better than Turf Wars. It’s so nice to see Kuvira again! My queen! Give me more. I want her whole backstory of growing up with Suyin.

It was astonishing how nice everyone was being to Kuvira. She killed Asami’s Dad. SQUISHED HIM. In front of her eyes. She almost killed Asami! Why are they not seething at the mention of her name? Instead they’re inviting her on the mission. Not even taking away her bending? That’s crazy!

As this series progresses, the better it gets. I'm glad to see the adventures of Avatar Korra. Also, it's nice to see what happened to Mako. Korra and Asami's relationship is super cute and I'm glad to see that they are still together.

Nice to meet Kuvira again, as she was Korra's most formidable opponent aside from Zahir.

Earth Kingdom's transition towards a democracy was explored here. Wu was again the comic relief. The next installments would be about the local election in Gaoling and how Team Avatar united once again (because they always were no matter the scale of the problem) to make sure the process went smooth, against a new villain that I am not really into yet.

Two things I don't really fancy: Another use of mind control (again by Earthbenders - did not we have enough Dai Lis and Lake Laogai). Also, I was not so sure on Korra's proposal before the end. Toph. Really? She's already ancient and did not care for a worldly living anymore, and they would ask her to run as governor? Nobody else?
