Rating: 4 stars

My Review:

Reading this felt as if I were watching the TV series. Like the series, the stories were a blend of action, drama and humor. There were a couple of stories that felt a little sad such as "Relics" from the Book One: Water chapter. In "Relics", Aang searched the mountains to see if maybe there were any airbenders secretly hiding out but instead all he found was a trap set by Admiral Zhoa. In the end, he still had to deal with the fact that he is still the last airbender.

Another story that I really enjoyed was "No Benders Allowed" from Book Three: Fire chapter. In the story, Sokka and the other non-benders (The Duke and Teo) decided to create a club just for themselves since they are usually excluded from certain activities because they don't have any bending abilities. Sokka and the guys made their club seem so appealing and fun that it was making Aang (and secretly the other benders) envious to join.

I really enjoyed reading this book and as a fan of the show this was great. Now, I can't wait to read Avatar:TLA: The Promise trilogy.
