Avatar, The Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi (Chronicles of the Avatar Book 1) delves into the origins of one of the most intriguing figures in the Avatar universe. Set against the backdrop of a world seeking stability after the emergence of young Avatar Yun, the story follows Kyoshi, a seemingly unremarkable girl from the Earth Kingdom. As she unexpectedly showcases her bending abilities during a mission, Kyoshi's life takes a dramatic turn, thrusting her into a conflict over the true identity of the Avatar.
Fleeing from the Avatar mansion alongside her spirited friend Rangi, Kyoshi embarks on a journey filled with challenges and self-discovery. In a quest to understand her powers while evading those who would exploit her, she finds an unexpected alliance with the daofei—outlaws who live in the shadows of society. This unique partnership forces Kyoshi to confront her own beliefs about justice and vengeance, as she navigates the complexities of her newfound role and the responsibilities that come with it.
As Kyoshi trains in secret, she faces brutal adversaries and the looming threat of those who wish to control the Avatar. The narrative explores her transformation from a girl of humble beginnings to a formidable force for justice, establishing her legacy as the longest-living Avatar in history. The Rise of Kyoshi not only provides an action-packed adventure but also enriches the lore of the beloved series, setting the stage for future explorations in this captivating world.
“Yee (The Epic Crush of Genie Lo, 2017) artfully weaves in political entanglements as well as complex cultural identities to fully immerse readers in Kyoshi's world . . . An action-packed tale that answers some long-awaited questions; fans will look forward to the promised sequel.”
