This was such an excellent sequel to The Rise of Kyoshi. The story was a bit less broad in this book, but I really enjoyed how Kyoshi's development as an Avatar and an individual was challenged. I felt that the story left me a bit wanting at the end, perhaps only because there is no such thing as enough Kyoshi content. We learn a lot about Kyoshi's past lives, and we begin to see how the story we already know will start to unfold in the next few centuries. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, The Dawn of Yangchen.

I was less into this sequel than the original, maybe because of the politics.

The ending was also too perfect in many ways. I still have issues with the writer being a man, but I would’ve loved to see Kiyoshi’s queerness more explicitly explored.
