This wasn't bad but wasn't anything special。 I liked that most of the geniuses in this series are women （Zhu Li， Asami， Kuvira， the brainwashing lady）。 We get to see Kuvira struggle to be taken seriously by the "good" guys and Wu struggle with his confidence in his decisions， but otherwise there isn't a lot of character development。 This is more in line with season 2 of the show， quality wise rather than 1， 3 and 4 which I loved more。 This wasn't bad but wasn't anything special。 I liked that most of the geniuses in this series are women （Zhu Li， Asami， Kuvira， the brainwashing lady）。 We get to see Kuvira struggle to be taken seriously by the "good" guys and Wu struggle with his confidence in his decisions， but otherwise there isn't a lot of character development。 This is more in line with season 2 of the show， quality wise rather than 1， 3 and 4 which I loved more。 。。。more

Again another great read I’m really enjoying how fast these comic sky and Kuvira was one of my favourite characters。 However I am surprised at how nice she is being as she is getting a lot of stick （even though she was literally evil） but she takes it all perfectly which I really enjoy。 The brainwashing is an interesting point and I’m really enjoying how much Wu and Mako are together。 :3

If you want more of The Legend of Korra this is your series you might want to read Turf Wars first though。 It will contain major SPOILERS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Read the trilogy like one book， deferring review until third book。

Unrated out of 5 stars。 Ruins of the Empire is the best arc of the LoK and ATLA comics that I’ve read so far！ The complexity of the emotions and relationships of all the primary characters here， the political implications to the Earth Kingdom and the Avatar world overall and the character development overall is so superior！ I’ve loved reading this so far and I’m sad it’s about to come to an end。

3。5When Legend of Korra calls back to the original Avatar series， sometimes it can feel like DAMN， STAND ON YOUR OWN。 However， I love seeing Toph back in the spotlight in this volume。 I really enjoyed all the action between Korra and Kuvira against the Guan troops。 I'm ready to see how this brainwashing is going to be handle and if the gang can get back together again。 But what I'm really ready is for this to end！ 3。5When Legend of Korra calls back to the original Avatar series， sometimes it can feel like DAMN， STAND ON YOUR OWN。 However， I love seeing Toph back in the spotlight in this volume。 I really enjoyed all the action between Korra and Kuvira against the Guan troops。 I'm ready to see how this brainwashing is going to be handle and if the gang can get back together again。 But what I'm really ready is for this to end！ 。。。more

*4。5Oooh， stuff is REALLY picking up！ I like this expansion of technology we saw in ATLA， and the Kuvira stuff is compelling。 That stuff with Wu and the swamp was great too。 I'm looking forward to seeing how this'll all go down。 4。5/5 stars。 *4。5Oooh， stuff is REALLY picking up！ I like this expansion of technology we saw in ATLA， and the Kuvira stuff is compelling。 That stuff with Wu and the swamp was great too。 I'm looking forward to seeing how this'll all go down。 4。5/5 stars。 。。。more

Korra a mais perspicaz de todas nessa parte， ela se aproveitar da fala da Toph pra conseguir manipular ela？ Nível acima até mesmo do Sokka que nunca conseguiu ludibriar a Toph， enfim。Eu sabia que não estava errado sobre a Kuvira， eu sentia essa verdade sobre ela， algo que a Azula não me provava sempre o contrário， sempre tinha segundas intenções nas falas dela e isso me deixava inseguro quanto a sua redenção。 Confesso que ver a familía da Su falando pra ela não confiar na Kuvira remete muito aos Korra a mais perspicaz de todas nessa parte， ela se aproveitar da fala da Toph pra conseguir manipular ela？ Nível acima até mesmo do Sokka que nunca conseguiu ludibriar a Toph， enfim。Eu sabia que não estava errado sobre a Kuvira， eu sentia essa verdade sobre ela， algo que a Azula não me provava sempre o contrário， sempre tinha segundas intenções nas falas dela e isso me deixava inseguro quanto a sua redenção。 Confesso que ver a familía da Su falando pra ela não confiar na Kuvira remete muito aos pensamentos dela lá no começo da história， ela nunca vai fazer parte de verdade da família e ter o amor e apoio incondicional que normalmente se tem。Lembrar um pouco sobre a lavagem cerebral é até engraçado já que， ela sempre esta relacionada ao Reino da Terra。 Por enquanto continua me entretendo e indo muito。Momento de dor: Asami e Korra brigando e a Korra em momento algum dando golpes nela pra machucar。 。。。more

At first， the brainwashing plot didn't sit well with me。 It seemed very cliché and out-of-the-blue。 But the more I think about it， the more in-line it is with season two of the original series， and I appreciate that callback。 Overall， I like this comic a lot！ At first， the brainwashing plot didn't sit well with me。 It seemed very cliché and out-of-the-blue。 But the more I think about it， the more in-line it is with season two of the original series， and I appreciate that callback。 Overall， I like this comic a lot！ 。。。more
