raethereviewer 's review for:
The Promise, Part 1
by Gene Luen Yang
adventurous
I don't really know how to rate this one. I enjoyed the illustrations and it was really fun coming back to this world I loved as a kid.
The conversations surrounding the post-colonial experience were interesting but I wish this was longer so there could be more of that explored. It’s such a nuanced topic and I was honestly surprised to see it as one of the focal points for the graphic novel but it’s a topic I love to see discussed. I do plan on continuing the series to see what direction they take with that.
I was a Zatara shipper as a kid and that might be part of the reason I rolled my eyes every time Aang and Katara called each other “sweetie.” The "romantic" moments with Katara and Aang felt a little forced to me.
