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.

We finally get some answers to big ATLA fandom questions!

Azula is a tough character to spend so many pages with, and the “sweeties” between Aang and Katara still bothered me, but I was pleased to see Zuko get his happy ending.

The way it ended

with the mother of faces just suddenly agreeing to help and giving out three gifts

kind of confused me but it was great otherwise :)
I love Fire Nation royal family lore

this was EVERYTHING. we got almost all the closure we needed, yet it left some things open for future exploration.

im so glad we finally got to see what happened to zuko's mum 😭 it was really sad to see azula's state of mind, but it also made sense due to her absolute meltdown in s3. also where did azula go????

4.25 stars.

- I loved the easter eggs that tie back to ATLA and TLOK! I really enjoy how the Avatar Universe's worldbuilding continues to expand.
- I enjoyed this installment of the comics a lot more than The Promise. The Search was wonderfully constructed, especially storyline-wise.
