The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee
4.0
Oh my god I absolutely LOVED this. What a beautiful, solid addition to the avatar universe, wow. The writing was beautiful and everything felt so so real. I’m always a bit wary of books based on tv shows that are supposedly prequels or sequels to the show, but I was not disappointed with this one. Genuinely consider and even believe this is canon and am only feeling joy of having more depth to the avatar universe.
I loved how this book got more into the different cultures within the avatar universe, I definitely feel like I know even more about this world than before. The characters were great and everything made sense.
The only thing I missed was, you know, a sokka or a bolin. Just someone to lighten up the mood a bit and bring humour to the pages. Also the pacing was a bit meh for me, but I cant put my finger on exactly what was off with it for me. I just found myself having difficulties keeping my focus and motivation to keep reading, maybe because I sometimes had the feeling the plot wasn’t really going anywhere. And lastly the ending was a but anticlimactic compared to the other graphic action packed scenes, but nevertheless I CANNOT wait to read the sequel.
