Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors leave their island home to join the war against the Fire Nation.

The Kyoshi Warriors story takes place sometime between the end of season 1 and somewhere in the middle of season 2 when the Gaang meets the Kyoshi Warriors in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Suki and the Kyoshi warriors have joined the fight in the earth kingdom against the Fire Nation and are trying to prove their worth. They join an Earth Kingdom army, but find that following orders isn't as easy as it sounds, especially when those orders go against what you believe in. Through this, Suki learns how to be a better leader.
Not my favorite ATLA side story. It seems that we've gotten to a plateau where there's only so much story that can be eked out from this series. We've got plenty of great post-series content, but some of the stuff that takes place in the middle is starting to feel forced and lacking any real tension. While I do appreciate getting to see the Kyoshi Warriors do their own thing, I don't feel like I got to know them any better. Suki already had a great side story in Suki, Alone, so this feels like a step backwards in getting to know here as a character.
To be honest, I would either like to see more post-series content, or even Legend of Korra comics. Though maybe now with Seven Havens currently airing, we might get more mythology on Aang and/or Korra which would explain the dearth of graphic novel stories from them.
a nice addition to the avatar world, it was great seing Suki again
this follows the kyoshi warriors during avatar the last airbender , sometime after season 1 before SUki meets back up with the Gaang. here we see the kyoshi warriors leave their island and try to figure out how the best way to help the earth kindom in the fight against the fire nation
I was pleasantly surprised how dark this got. Andal as villain just did not work for me because she was cartoonishly evil and dumb. I enjoyed the book overall just had some minor criticisms.
