What a great book to close with the Kyoshi stories. I feel like we still read about a complete different Kyoshi from the one we meet in The Last Airbender, but by seeing all the things she went through we can tell how she became such a strong avatar. She goes through a lot of pain a fears throughout the book because of the new challenges and responsibilities, and I think that is what makes her such a relatable character.

This was such an excellent sequel to The Rise of Kyoshi. The story was a bit less broad in this book, but I really enjoyed how Kyoshi's development as an Avatar and an individual was challenged. I felt that the story left me a bit wanting at the end, perhaps only because there is no such thing as enough Kyoshi content. We learn a lot about Kyoshi's past lives, and we begin to see how the story we already know will start to unfold in the next few centuries. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, The Dawn of Yangchen.
