Reseña en español.

Spoiler

El universo de Avatar toma un enfoque más político que los anteriores, sucediendo al poco tiempo que Turf Wars, ¡y de qué manera! Vuelven personajes queridos, tanto protagonistas como villanos (¡hola Kuvira!), siendo tan interesantes como la propia historia que nos cuentan.

La transición de monarquía a democracia, la pregunta de si todo el ejército de Kuvira habría seguido sus órdenes de rendirse (spoiler alert, NO), realizado de una manera maravillosa que te produce escalofríos. ¿Por qué? Por los parecidos que podemos encontrar con nuestra realidad.

Puntos extra por las clases de historia, los detalles de ATLA (Dai Li, Long Feng y lo que lograron hacer en Ba Sing Se), Korrasami y Toph.

Spoiler

The Avatar’s Universe goes political ones more (but there is action too!), taking the relay from Turf Wars. A lot of my favorite characters returns, villains too (Hello, Kuvira!), being all of them as interesting as the story is taking place.

The transition from monarchy to democracy, the question concerning Kuvira’s Army (everybody follows her command to surrender? Spoiler alert, NO) is written beautifully and scary at the same time. After all, there are a lot of things that can be compared to our reality.

Extra point for the History Class, the details from ATLA (the Dai Li and Long Feng actions on Ba Sing Se), Korrasami and Toph.

Good setup, I’m glad we’re getting more Kuvira! She was my favorite villain from Legend of Korra!
