Avatar Kyoshi and Avatar Roku from their respective Avatar - The Last Airbender book covers
Summary While all five of the Chronicles of the Avatar books are all solid reads for Avatar: The Last Airbender fans, some of the stories rank higher than others. Of course, every reader's criteria for what makes a good tie-in novel will vary, but, generally speaking, the most successful entries are the ones that balance standalone narratives with fun references and nods to the original series.
5 The Dawn of Yangchen The First Novel About Avatar Yangchen Close In F.C. Yee's The Dawn of Yangchen, the incredibly composed Avatar who Aang speaks with in the original series is a younger and less experienced version of herself. Plagued by the voices of her past lives, Yangchen doesn't believe that the world respects or adores her as much as her predecessor, Avatar Szeto.
In many ways, The Dawn of Yangchen only scratches the surface of the young Avatar's character. At times, the exposition-heavy approach and focus on political intrigue take away from what fans love most about ATLA — the lore, bending, and action. Undeniably, the most frustrating element of the first Yangchen novel is the amount of time spent on Kavik's point of view. The strange choice definitely undercuts Yangchen's role as the novel's protagonist.
The narrative demands that Yangchen take a more active role in the story, which definitely helps the sequel surpass the first Yangchen novel. However, that more active role doesn't necessarily equate to bending feats or fighting sequences. True to her character, Yangchen prizes brains over brawn.
...the Kyoshi duology feels very character-driven, from Kyoshi's love for Rangi to her disdain for Avatar Kuruk.
