Excellent Continuation of the show; well worth the read

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019

I loved getting to spend more time with all these great characters, both new, and returning. Just like the show these graphic novels manage to be whimsical, heartfelt, and charming while still tackling very difficult issues in a smart way.

Can't wait to see the conclusion.

Avatar: The Last Airbender-- The Promise Part II (Review)

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2022

Tension is gradually building for Team Avatar. I like that while it's safe to call the lot team Avatar still. The history of the characters has also evolved since the end of the war, and the writers waste no time throwing the readers right into the grittiness of what it means to invoke change.

While Avatar Aang's primary duty is to serve as the balance between the natural and spirit world, this portion of the tale places Aang in the middle of a strong political conflict. The weight of his coming decision serves as a good point of interest to move the plot.

It feels like a breath of fresh air when the attention is shifted between Aang and Katara and Sokka and Toph. I am a huge fan of the Sokka and Toph dynamic, and I love that the authenticity is still alive and captured with clarity.

Another perfect continuation.

The graphic novel is a perfect continuation to the TV series. The characters are written and drawn beautifully, and the Parts 1 and 2 both contain both the depth and lightness of the Nickelodeon show. It feels about the same length as one episode in terms of the plot points, and takes about the same amount of time to read as to watch. HIGHLY recommended.

Having read the first two now, and watched the new Legend of Korra series, it makes me miss the original series that much more. The graphic novels have made me laugh far more times than Korra, and the plot feels much less forced and drawn out. Can't wait for part 3.

Wanted more progress to main story, but fits perfectly into the Avatar canon.

The biggest surprise that I found about The Promise part 1 was how well it captured the spirit of the show so perfectly that it felt like a natural and seamless continuation of the series, which can also be said of Part II. However, even though I found it enjoyable and to be another well crafted story I do have some minor complaints about this one. The story is split between three different sections (Aang and Katara, Sokka and Toph, Ozai and Zuko). Each sections are well done and have moments I found quite enjoyable, but my biggest problem with this 2nd act int he series is that it felt to be somewhat like filler. As I have said these stories are interesting, well done, and expand upon the Avatar universe and background positively, but I felt that most of the Aang/Katara and Toph/Sokka sections didn't really have much to do with the major arc of this series, which is quite short to begin with. I wouldn't find that to be a problem if this was a longer series but there is only one volume left. I would have liked if more time was spent dealing or making progress with this major arc. I loved the stories but maybe they should have been saved for a "The Lost Adventures" type of comic or maybe a future series that has more time to build the universe and the characters. Having said that, I thought the author did a great job telling stories that were interesting and thoughtful. He captures the characters so perfectly and there was never a moment where I questioned whether or not a character would have said or done something different based upon what we know of them from the original series. Even though some of the jokes I found became somewhat repetitive I still chuckled multiple times and was grinning for most of the time I was reading this. As a stand alone Avatar graphic novel I really enjoyed it. I am eagerly awaiting Part III which has the potential to be quite epic. I definitely recommend reading this of course.

Outstanding!

As if it wasn't enough that the TV series was awesome - the books are also fantastic. This one picks up where the previous one (The Promise: Part 1) left off: Toph is with Aang, Katara, and Sokka in the Earth kingdom to resolve the issue of Yu-Dao and the Harmony Restoration Movement, while Zuko is seeking help from his father, Ozai about the pressures of being the Fire Lord. There is a subplot with Toph trying to teach Metalbending to her students, and Sokka helping her with it - Sokka's wit is something being greatly missed in Korra, but the book has it spot on.

There is an Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Promise: Part 3 that will release in September/October that will conclude this story arc (possibly leading to Republic City!) - I'm eagerly waiting for it.

O livro é gostoso e uma forma de continuar a magia da série. Amando a leitura, o desenvolvimento dos personagens, coisas que só se descobre lendo e que, obviamente, não foram mostradas na série animada.
