As I said in my original review, I love Avatar with all of my heart but I feel like the one thing that we all hated from the original tv show was the romance and in this it’s even worse. I can’t stand behind Aang and Katara’s relationship because it doesn’t make sense and it will never make sense to me. I’m sorry.

Zuko will always be my favorite character and though I know Aang made a “promise” to him and the cliff hanger suggests that Zuko is in fact turning into his father, he’s really not, so this story is not only predictable and unnecessary but it also annoys me to no end that even when we got the best redemption arc of all time he’s still the antagonist.

So basically, I had the exact same thoughts as the first time. But I did lowered my rating from three stars to two stars.

I LOVE AVATAR SO MUCH, but… all this “sweetie” lovey dovey stuff from katara and aang is actually making me gag. I still want zuko and katara to happen tbh.

I also hate the fact that zuko is being rational for once and is still the antagonist. so disappointing.

4. 4 books linked by the 4 elements: Book #1 Earth (in title, cover, content, setting, author...) ok listen toph is an earth bender…
