A review by booksforjake
Avatar: The Last Airbender the Art of the Animated Series (Second Edition) by Bryan Konietzko, Michael Dante DiMartino

5.0

An awesome look behind-the-scenes of my favorite show. What really stood out to me is the windy path creators take when putting together a world filled with rich lore, dynamic & complex characters, and stunning visuals.

That is to say, DiMartino & Konietzko don’t suddenly create the story for the legendary Avatar series overnight. Instead, the whole process is piece-meal, starting with one tiny sketch of a bald man and his robotic lemur friend. Then, with a lot of twists and turns and challenges, it slowly becomes one of the best stories ever created.
