idk what it is abt the second kyoshi book but im slugging through it ngl
#i passed it off as me struggling to get back into reading but i tore through ella minnow pea and im glad my mom died really quickly#and while the first kyoshi book took me a second i still really liked it#book 2 in comparison feels really slow and drab and i dont really care abt her conflictin this one#i like the yun mystery but its not mentioned all that much and idk how its gonna come up#im at the bit where she just met the fire lords brother#or i think its his brother. the lookalike to the fire lord#i think its like the fantasy politics i tend to find that kinda boring as a conflict if its like the main thing#bc a lot of this book has been ppl telling kyoshi she needs to be a better leader#i feel like in comparison the conflict in book 1 was  a LOT sharper and more unique of a conflict for this universe#and jianzhu was a cool ass antagonist and having him as a pov character was interesting and was fucked up and i liked it!!#but here its just kyoshi and how she needs to be like palpable to society and like since its a prequel ik she'll prevail somehow#and idk its fine ig but not nearly as interesting as ''the former avatars best friend had to take on avatar duties#and was broken by the responsibility and grief and blames himself for his death so he ends up forcing the title on a young boy#grooms him to take the role and abuses him to force his powers and then proceeds to murder him when he finds the real avatar#and thats just ONE thing that was really interesting abt the first book like kyoshi not being discovered and scorned bc shes the daughter#of a thief and an air nomad and how that formed her ideaology AND that combined w jianzhu's influence on her life#and her relationship w rangi and how ugly jianzhu's methods expand over the book AUGH#i like her and rangi in this book still but partly paranoid theyre also gonna break em up bc rangi isnt talked abt in the source#so theyll do that to ''explain'' that#idk maybe the book will pick up soon. yun come back#echoed voice
