realizing that i much prefer faith erin hicks’ writing of the characters. especially with katara and aang! this collection was blissfully free of the cringe pet name obsession gene luen yang seems to have when writing these characters, and their dynamic was so much more in character. sokka, toph, and suki were also very well written and their dialogue just worked so well. the plot and script overall was just so well written and balanced. the search remains my favorite, but this is easily my second favorite of the trilogies. i did find the beginning a LITTLE slow but i totally understand how it was necessary to build out the world and setting.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those stories that never gets old. I loved this volume so much!!!!!
I liked the conversation about how bending is an essential part of a person's identity, all the resistance Aang has to the fast-growing industrial revolution the world is facing, which is slowly casting benders aside. Therefore, they want to erase the non-benders who are beginning to rise from their shadow. The grudge between blenders and non-benders is a pressing topic in the 1st season of The Legend of Korra, and in this volume, we get to see its early stages.
Everything was great. The fighting scenes were epic as always, the new characters were interesting and their design was amazing. I have two complaints though: 1) Where is Zuzu?! And 2) The ending felt too sudden and open, it gave me “and they saved the day with the power of friendship and lived happily ever after” sorts of vibe. Everything was left kind of unresolved, which leads me to believe that maybe will get another installment...? I don't know.
Anyway, I'm a slave for all the things ATLA, so yeah. ‘Till the next one fellas!

Fun to see the start of republic city. The drawings are obviously made by a different artist who’s style is a bit more dark and less like that of the show, unlike the previous books. Took some getting used to
