The Rise of Kyoshi

I went into this book with optimism but I did not expect much. The Avatar comics have been mostly average to subpar and I assumed the trend would continue. It did not.

This book was extremely well written. F.C. Yee has a new fan in me and if the sequel to this book remains the same quality I will be purchasing their other books ASAP.

I love that they didn't write this for a kid friendly audience. The Avatar straight up kills people which is what I've been begging for. Aang and I have very different philosophies so it's always been hard for me to deal with him. Kyoshi like Korra is a badass who gets shit done. Evil person who is killing a bunch of people? They need to die. Makes sense.

Also big praise for the fight scenes which are so hard to make compelling typically. The bending was great.

Lastly it was cool to get a taste of the air nomads at the end. We only have the flashbacks of Aang prior to this book.
