A good resolution to the mystery of Zuko and Azula’s mother. Writers did a good job of explaining her absence in a way that makes sense in the Avatar universe. It was, perhaps, “convenient”—but it didn’t feel contrived.

A fun addition to the Avatar story, I always wanted to know what happened to Zuko's mother so I was happy that this answer didn't disappoint. I loved how it incorporated the spirit world and the flashback sequences, but I found Azula frustrating and the ending was a bit rushed.

A really heartbreaking backstory for Zuko’s mother Ursa. My issue with this novel is that it had some ableist themes, e.g. being scarred means you’re bad. There was a note by one of the writers of the show about Azula becoming unhinged and how the artist changed the art style to show “Azula’s split personality”. Yes Azula is fkd up, but let’s not demonise mental illness.
