Book Review of The Earth Kingdom Chronicles Collection (The Tale of Aang / The Tale of Azula / The Tale of Toph / The Tale of Sokka) (AVATAR the Last Air Bender, Tales 1-4)

reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


When I ordered this book, I was not certain of its contents - I didn't know whether it was a series of episode adaptations, or behind-the-scenes extras that build onto the main story, or something completely different. What it turned out to be was disappointing.
This book tells the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Book Two: Earth from the first person perspectives of Aang, Azula, Toph, and Sokka, respectively. Each tale was badly and repetitively written, out-of-character, and inaccurate to what the show gave as canon. Events were presented out of order or as done by a different character, some with a different outcome.
Needless to say, this is not a book I would recommend to a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Go read The Lost Adventures or The Promise - they are much more worth your time.
P.S. I do, however, like the cover art, especially on the book's back cover.
