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.

I love this world so much & am always to excited to experience a piece of it again with every graphic novel/novel instalment I read. “The Promise” I had really mixed feelings on, I do have some on this one as well, but for the most part I really liked it. I love that it answered the question of what happened to Zuko & Azula’s mother, but it actually made me hate their mother a little bit in doing so. The decision she made to forget her children felt so out of character and out of left field & I really didn’t like that route at all. I did however enjoy the complexities of Azula’s mental illness and how it was explored throughout this graphic novel. While she’s the main villain throughout the show, this graphic novel added a lot of dimension to her character & made me feel a lot more sympathetic of her as a character. I still stand by that I hate how Aang & Katara are written as a couple in these & it’s making me really dislike the two of them.
