The Kyoshi Novels Book 2: The Shadow of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee with Michael Dante DiMartino

The Shadow of Kyoshi (The Kyoshi Novels, #2)
Kyoshi Novel Book 2
The epic, can’t-miss follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Avatar, The Last Airbender:The Rise of Kyoshi
 
Kyoshi’s place as the true Avatar has finally been cemented—but at a heavy cost. With her mentors gone, Kyoshi voyages across the Four Nations, struggling to keep the peace. But while her reputation grows, a mysterious threat emerges from the Spirit World. To stop it, Kyoshi, Rangi, and their reluctant allies must join forces before the Four Nations are destroyed irreparably. This thrilling follow-up continues Kyoshi’s journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice still feared and admired centuries after becoming the Avatar.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

A great conclusion to this duology. Yee delivers another fantastic addition to the Avatar universe. This book has more focus in the Fire Nation and the politics, but also a great step toward the spirit world. And, we get an even better look at Avatar Kuruk and even Avatar Yangchen. The past influences the future in so many ways. Kyoshi truly learns this lesson and the lesson that not all is what it appears to be. There is always more to a story. Especially when she learns more about Avatar Kuruk. I always love diving back into the Avatar universe. Easily one of my all time favorite worlds. This was a great book to see Kyoshi struggling with finding her role in the world as their Avatar. It isn't easy and she has much to learn, but each experience teaches her something more. Great book! I hope Yee and DiMartino get to dive in and create more books like this. There are so many Avatars to explore and I would love to see more.
