A review by maida
The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee

2.0

As big of a fan I am of a:tla (and believe me, this children’s animated series is my main talking point at any hangout) I was hesitant about this book. Because I haven’t liked any of the Avatar spin-offs so far.

But… surprise! I really did like it for once!

I loved getting to see Kyoshi’s backstory and how she became one of the strongest avatars in the whole cycle. And though this particular book read a bit fan fiction-y it was still quite enjoyable.

I also loved Kyoshi’s companions; this Team Avatar was particularly amazing. All of them had their own personalities and quirks (unlike, cough, Korra’s) which made them quite loveable.

I even liked the romance… in Avatar! Who would’ve thought. I love my bisexual queen.

Again. Very fan fiction-y. But you know.

44. A book related in some way to a tv show/series or movie you enjoyed (same topic, same era, book appeared in the show/movie, etc.)
