I loved it. But I love the Avatar World and the characters.
It was so nice to see Mai and Ty Lee again. I missed their dynamic duo.
This story is more focused on Mai's family. Aang, Katara and Sokka aren't in it so much, but to me that doesn't really matter. I'm really glad we see how Mai and her family is doing. It was weird to see her acted so happy though.
I wanted to talk about Ursa, Zuko's mother, too. I get that she most be terrified to return the palace. Her memories are probably not that great. But why are her hands so cold all the time? Or is it like Noren said, just because she's really really nervous.
I really liked that Kiyi's still processing her mother's face change, because kids aren't just okay with that.
I don't know what to think about the Kei Lo x Mai relationship but that's more because it started in the last few pages. So I'll see how that develops. I hope that there won't be a Kei Lo/Mai/Zuko love triangle though. Love triangles are just everywheree... But if it's done good I'll be okay with it.
Iroh was very funny and I really loved how HAPPY Zuko was. He deserves that.
So good writing, Gene Luen Yang!! Keep up the good work :) I'll be looking forward to Part 2, especially with the end.
