As far as dangling plot threads go, none compares to the fate of Zuko's mother. I've seen people who absolutely do not care about the canonicity of the comics accept through hearsay what the folks at Dark Horse did to wrap up that plot thread in "The Search." Whatever future Avatar projects there will be as far as TV or film, hopefully will reference that graphic novel, so that'll make the original viewing audience who don't wanna read comics be in the know and have the closure those of us who read have had for years.
I only bring that up since this book scratched a similar itch that I didn't know I had regarding the pro-bender brothers: what was their mother like & what was she running from?
Spot-on characterization, an intriguing case, and a funny lil blast from the past as the titular island is so isolated from the rest of the world, they might as well still be living in Aang's wartime. For the 2% of fans who care about Mako & Bolin (which is already a small percentage of Avatar fans who even want to acknowledge Korra as as good show), this is essential reading!
