At the age of 41, I have finally seen Avatar: the Last Airbender, and boy, have I been fangirling out like a tweenager. I am a Zuko girly, a no-arguments Zutarra shipper, I made ATLA my library’s September theme (“Reading is Elemental” was the national theme but ALA went with Pixar… Psshaw), and I immediately dove into the graphic novel series (which I intend to read before continuing the journey in Korra). I was fairly familiar with these books as I have ordered them for […]

The Disney Characters in the image have nothing to do with the book, I was bored.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver by Faith Erin Hicks

All you need to know is that Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver is about Katara and pirates. And it is created by Faith Erin Hicks, Peter Wartman and Adele Matera. But if you need more, our Avatar and his friends Sokka and Toph have a side story, that deals with a Fire Nation/Fire Bender Solider. This man, of course, believes the lies the nation has created about the Air Benders. And Ang takes it upon himself to try and change his […]

A high note to end this run of graphic novels

Katara and Sokka travel back home for the first time since they left the South Pole to help Aang save the world. It has been quite some time since they’ve been home, and they are shocked to see that the small little village they grew up in has been transformed to a thriving metropolis that looks very similar to the North Pole. The South Pole has been modernized, but not everyone is happy about it. Threats of mutiny and rebellion are growing. Katara, Sokka, and […]

Avatar Aang, in the midst of a celebration of the first jointly governed colony, is beset by visions of one of his former lives, Avatar Yangchen, the last air bender avatar before Aang. The visions remind Aang that it is time for Yangchen’s festival, so everyone’s favorite friend group sets off: Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and the Air Acolytes fly to a pristine to cliff to honor a giant statue of an unknown woman. Tensions rise almost immediately between Aang and Toph. Aang encourages valuing […]

The Last Chapter

November 17, 2015 by tillie Leave a Comment

When someone you love gives you Avatar; the last airbender you really know you’re good at picking people to love. Still the tv-show was over far too fast and it left a sadness in my life, like reading the last, final chapter of Harry Potter back when J.K Rowling actually had us convinced she’d never touch the story again. So when I got the Avatar; The Promise comics for Christmas I put them on my bookshelf and for many months enjoyed simply walking past them; knowing […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
