Welcome to Litsy!

Did I absolutely adore this book my husband picked for us to listen to on long drives? Yes! Do you have to be an Avatar fan to enjoy it? No, but it's even better if you are. This book was such a fun telling of Kyoshi's beginning and what the world of Avatar looked like 300ish years before the show. It's a super fun ride. The characters are delighfup, the action is suspenseful, and the punches are not pulled. #Avatar #TransmediaStories #LGBTQ

My first #NewYearWhoDis read was a fun adventure story. It took me a while to get into it because it‘s a prequel to something I‘m not familiar with, so it‘s developing characters I was already supposed to know. Once I got accustomed to the world I definitely enjoyed this though. Thank you, @jen_the_scribe and @monalyisha !

This was an awesome listen. It‘s definitely a tad bit more adult than the original ATLA and The Legend of Korra. Learning about Kyoshi‘s backstory was interesting, and she‘s every bit as amazing as I thought she was. I really liked learning who her “masters” were, definitely not what I expected but in the best way. A lot of action, drama, sadness, and tender moments.

Excited to finally listen to this one!

A fun book about the girl who becomes the almost myth like Avatar Kyoshi from AtLA and her very humble, but kind of heartbreaking, beginning. Quite the adventure.

4.5/5 I loved it as an ATLA fan, but it's way darker and less comedic. Personally I appreciated it. Strong female characters with growth. As a prequel, the author did an excellent job creating a feeling of trepidation and hopelessness (too much occasionally). The story's moral commentary is left open without a strong answer on purpose. Braver than the shows. Manage expectations for the finale. Sequel added to my to read pile.

Avatar is my guilty pleasure, so when I saw this I had to check it out. It's decent book that stays true to the world. I like the rebel side of Kyoshi compared to the idolized other avatars.

When I received my Audible credit for the month, I just needed to snag this one. I'm obsessed with ATLA and The Legend of Korra. Can't wait to learn more about Kyoshi's background. Anyone else a fan?

I‘m a huge fan of the world of Avatar the Last Airbender and this book did not disappoint. I got this from the library and already reserved the sequel. Kyoshi‘s story is far more complicated than I would have imagined and it made for a great read. If you‘re an Avatar fan I definitely recommend this book.

Finally finished! I love ATLA, and this expansion of the world before Aang was so thrilling. If you‘re an ATLA fan, I would highly recommend this book. I can‘t wait to get to the next one!

I am so pumped for this book! Using it as my pan-Asian book for #booked2020 as Avatar: Last Airbender has always been an awesome look into pan-Asian influences ❤️

Fun, light and easy read. Finished it in a weekend. Will probably pick up the next book in the series.

What a fantastic read! I share this passage because even Avatar Kyoshi had to deal with misogyny. I have really enjoyed exploring the life pre-Avatar Aang and I love getting to come back to the world of bending! Kyoshi is so great and it is definitely not what I was expecting to get. Pretty sure I can count this for #SilkPunk #Spring #Booked2020 given the heavy eastern influences in Avatar. Can‘t wait to read more this summer!

Yokoya Port was a town easy to overlook. #FirstLineFridays

I think it is important that I try to make more time for reading—so instead of Netflix I decided to just read. This is the other book I picked up from the library and I am so excited to be back in the world of Avatar! Kyoshi has always been one of my faves, so it is exciting seeing her early years in book form.

This. Book. We finally have Kyoshi‘s story! She is as much of a badass as I had hoped! The moral ambiguity in the story makes you think too. Insanely good, highly recommend if you love Avatar👍🏻 👍🏻

Intentionally started this last night so it was the last book I started in 2019 and the first book I finished in 2020. 😊

I'ma huge Avatar the last Airbender fan so I've obviously been looking very forward to this. 🤩

I have finally made it mine. 😍

I LOVED ATLA, so I was a little nervous about this book; it‘s hard to follow a good show. However, the plot is very enticing! Kyoshi lives as a meek servant at a time when someone else has already been identified as the Avatar. When reality hits, Kyoshi doesn‘t take the straight and narrow to become a badass avatar, we know and love (fear?) and I‘m here for it. That cliffhanger has me waiting for 2020!

I loved this book. It was emotional but paced well. Kyoshi being bisexual is a big element. Loved the chosen one isn‘t the chosen one. It made me laugh and cry.
