This comic was very cute, and interesting. In saying that I found it wasn't necessarily the most amazing non-fiction I'd ever read. However I do still think I'd recommend giving it a read, it's a short and sweet read!

Very fun, can't wait to continue to book 2! I give this a 3.5 only because it took me longer than usual with a Rick Riordan read to get INTO the plot and start having fun with it.

This was a fun read but there's a specific plot choice I would prefer to have been different and ever since thinking of that I haven't beenable to get that off my mind.

Loved getting to see Suki's perspective and a bit of her life on Kyoshi island prior to the Aang and the rest going there. I think the primary reason I won't go into those 4 stars is cause I felt like it wasn't enough, there was this massive opportunity to give us some more about her training, her life as well as a bit more of her experience at boiling rock prison leading up to her rescue. That opportunity wasn't taken and I felt a little let down, was this great regardless... yes. However that missed opportunity really bothered especially with Suki being such a great character knowing her better is great but I feel there was definitely more we could've gotten.
