The Shadow of Kyoshi

Honestly I didn't like this book very much. When I heard there were novels in development about Kyoshi I was so excited to learn how this woman became the person who established the Dai Li, killed Chin the Conquer, and advised Aang to kill Firelord Ozai. I loved the first book, I felt like it established Kyoshi's story brilliantly but this second entry just felt like a filler episode. And to hear that this series is probably just a duology really bummed me out. Obviously it's up to the author's discretion what subject matter they choose to tackle but to not even come close to covering the most interesting and purposefully vague aspects of Kyoshi's life? Kind of a let down. I also felt like the pacing of this book was lacking compared to the first. There was a beginning and ending but it didn't really feel like there was a middle. This is probably the one time a book would have benefitted from an extra hundred pages or so.
