Summary
When Katara and Sokka return home to the Southern Water Tribe， they are shocked to find that it has gone from a small village to a bustling city！ Malina， a Northerner， is behind the change and plans to unify the two groups， but Gilak， a Southerner， leads a fierce rebellion to stop her。 In the face of these two opposing tribes， Katara will have to make peace with her nostalgia and distrust to save the home she loves from being permanently torn apart。

After reading a lot of these， I've started to feel that there's a pattern。 And no I don't mean it as a compliment。 Well， still a pretty enjoyable continuation of the original series but the "sweetie"， it's weird considering these are the same characters （and not much older） that I grew up with。 After reading a lot of these， I've started to feel that there's a pattern。 And no I don't mean it as a compliment。 Well， still a pretty enjoyable continuation of the original series but the "sweetie"， it's weird considering these are the same characters （and not much older） that I grew up with。 。。。more

Fun。 Also， there was commentary on colonisation。

Team Avatar is reunited again！ Here we see Sokka and Katara return to their home， the South Pole since they left with the Avatar all those years ago。 Things are changing， some for good， some not so much。 We see again conflicts between keeping things traditions or moving on to the future。 I enjoyed watching them all learn and grow from the past and think about the future。

Der Comic war sehr vorhersehbar und hat sich stellenweise sehr gezogen。 Vielleicht lag es daran， das meine Erwartungen sehr niedrig waren， aber ich hatte trotzdem Spaß。。。 Das Ende war süß und deswegen einfach 3 Sterne。

Reading the story all together along with the creator's asides on the margins is always a great experience。 I'm just disappointed that nothing really gets resolved in this book。 I understand that's the point and it's the bridge between this and Korra。 I still can't help but want more。 The action scenes here were some of the best ever drawn in this series。 Katara was especially badass throughout the plot。 It was fun to see her take the lead on most of the fighting， especially once the gang got ba Reading the story all together along with the creator's asides on the margins is always a great experience。 I'm just disappointed that nothing really gets resolved in this book。 I understand that's the point and it's the bridge between this and Korra。 I still can't help but want more。 The action scenes here were some of the best ever drawn in this series。 Katara was especially badass throughout the plot。 It was fun to see her take the lead on most of the fighting， especially once the gang got back together。 Toph still managed to steal every scene she was in。 Surprisingly， she was the comic relief ， not Sokka。 I wanted more shenanigans from him。 I was flattered on his behalf when the opposition deemed him as much of a threat as the benders。 。。。more

This story again deals with progress vs tradition as we see that the south in an effort to be rebuilt has changed in many ways。 The architecture and the politics are changing and it has begun a split in the Southern Water Tribe。 This is the same type of conflict as we saw in the Rift story but it is done much better in this story。 Because in the Rift they kind of made one side obviously right since there was a giant spirit who could have been stopped if one side won。 But in this story both sides This story again deals with progress vs tradition as we see that the south in an effort to be rebuilt has changed in many ways。 The architecture and the politics are changing and it has begun a split in the Southern Water Tribe。 This is the same type of conflict as we saw in the Rift story but it is done much better in this story。 Because in the Rift they kind of made one side obviously right since there was a giant spirit who could have been stopped if one side won。 But in this story both sides are human and both have legitimate reasons for their cause。 And yes there are extremists who are obviously villains on both sides of the issue but even they have some relatability for why they are doing those obviously evil things。 Also love all of the nudges from the tv series like Toph's space rock and the return of the Earth King。 。。。more

These comics continue to tackle adult political issues in a way that makes sense for kids， which is really impressive。 This one again doesn’t provide an easy solution for the gentrification and potential loss of traditional culture， which I also appreciate。

Water bending has always been one of my favorite bending forms so this particular book was incredible。 The artwork is so beautiful！ I also love how the book perfectly captures the rising tension we eventually see in Legend of Korra。

I won’t keep repeating myself， this series as a whole is just really bloody good。 Dialogue has probably been at its weirdest in my personal opinion but the art still excels at drawing airships， buildings and replicating the art style of the show and its characters。The focus on Katara and Sokka’s relationship with their father and developments between both themselves and the water tribe was a delight to see， especially when we consider their lack of time spent together in the show， with the winte I won’t keep repeating myself， this series as a whole is just really bloody good。 Dialogue has probably been at its weirdest in my personal opinion but the art still excels at drawing airships， buildings and replicating the art style of the show and its characters。The focus on Katara and Sokka’s relationship with their father and developments between both themselves and the water tribe was a delight to see， especially when we consider their lack of time spent together in the show， with the winter designs for every single other character serving as a big plus （especially Toph with those shoes Lmao）。Considering the nature of this collection， it got rather sentimental towards the end。 Seeing the goodbye letters from both the artist and the writer in what would be the last Avatar book they’d ever work on， it was nice。 It’s why they included every single member of Team Avatar （as well as some OC’s）， but they do a surprisingly good job of not making their inclusion feel forced or unnecessary。 They feel integral to the story and they all contribute at least some kind of action or decision to the story that makes their presence known。The villain could’ve been displayed as much more sympathetic， especially given his backstory， but。。。 Eh。This isn’t really a review， moreso a collection of the thoughts that first came to my head upon finishing the story， but that doesn’t reduce how fun this was。Which was， I must say， Very Fun。7。5/10 。。。more

I have noticed a pattern now with The Last Airbender books， the setup of each story has been great until its third part， it just went downhill from that point。 In this case， we never got to see what happened to supporters of the antagonist who just wants to preserve the culture。 It's a shame how it just got rushed with a lousy battle。 Also， what's with Appa appearing only in two scenes？ NOOOO。 He's also part of the Team Avatar， right？ Anyway， this book could have a better end but it's just anoth I have noticed a pattern now with The Last Airbender books， the setup of each story has been great until its third part， it just went downhill from that point。 In this case， we never got to see what happened to supporters of the antagonist who just wants to preserve the culture。 It's a shame how it just got rushed with a lousy battle。 Also， what's with Appa appearing only in two scenes？ NOOOO。 He's also part of the Team Avatar， right？ Anyway， this book could have a better end but it's just another "let's just get this over with" type of story。 。。。more
