Kyoshi is the Avatar, though nobody knows it - not even her. Suspense is built into this book from the very beginning. Rather, it hooks you from the beginning and sends you hurtling toward an exciting, emotional and unexpected finale. The Rise of Kyoshi never crawls at the pace of an aardvark-sloth. Yee has taken the familiar ingredients of an Avatar coming-of-age story and brought them together in a fresh and exciting way. This is as much a tale as the stories of Aang and Korra are.Īnd those who felt uneasy after some of the uneven storytelling in ‘Korra’ can rest easy. This isn’t some companion book that adds simple context to the world, nor is it a shallow spin-off in the form of a comic book. Let’s make one thing clear: This is the third Avatar series. The first of two novels based on Kyoshi, The Rise of Kyoshi maps her journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice who is still feared and admired centuries after she became the Avatar. The longest-living Avatar in this beloved world’s history, Kyoshi established the brave and respected Kyoshi Warriors, but also founded the secretive Dai Li, which led to the corruption, decline, and fall of her own nation. Yee’s The Rise of Kyoshi delves into the story of Kyoshi, the Earth Kingdom–born Avatar. Its new spin-off book, The Rise of Kyoshi, has done it again.į.C.
Nickelodeon’s television show ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ gave a generation that experience years ago. That holds true for other story mediums as well. Reading a really good book for the first time is magic.
