A perfect conclusion to Kyoshi’s origins! She struggled to get there but the struggle can be appreciated when you know what she does in the future and the impact she had. Again, this is perfect for fans of ATLA and if you want to know more about Kyoshi.

The challenges facing the new Avatar haven't let up. Still learning her new responsibilities, and balancing them with her oaths, Shadow of Kyoshi twists and turns from dark tunnels to shining palaces, bringing with it intrigue. I felt that the story was slow at times, but I think that that may have been to the story's benefit, as my sometimes frustration with the pace, where I wanted to see action, mirrored that of Kyoshi, who wanted to escape politics and get to fighting. Where the pace picks up though, it's a whirlwind adventure.

After the backlash The Legend of Korra recieved for just being a female Avatar, I am both excited and upset that Kyoshi's story is told in book form, more so in this book than any other.

I don't know if it's the author's style, but this book, like the previous one, was very slow to start. And it shouldn't be like that as most readers of this series, mostly likely has watched the show, ergo already having the background knowledge needed to enjoy this world.

What saves this book for me, is the ending. Any book that has me in tears, is a good book. Hands down.
