My brief summary of the book
Kyoshi, a young servant orphan girl to “Avatar” Yun, is going to the South Pole with the others to sign a peace treaty with the pirate queen, to release the captives. But it turned out it was all a trick, so Kyoshi accidentally demonstrates remarkable bending. One of Yun’s tutors, Jianzhu, took Kyoshi and Yun to see a spirit to identify the real Avatar. It turned out to be Kyoshi. Kyoshi must run away after Jianzhu kills two people that she loves. Now Kyoshi is considered as a criminal called a Daofei. In her getaway, she must learn the four elements to defeat Jianzhu once and for all.
My thoughts
I loved The Rise of Kyoshi because it was adapted from one of my top 3 favorite shows: Avatar the last air bender and the legend of Korra. The author did an excellent job of explaining Kyoshi’s story, more like a behind the scenes. Kyoshi is courageous, fearless, and admirable. A perfect book for any Avatar fans, highly recommended.
