“But what about when somebody gets raped?” a person asked.“Or what if there’s a car accident? We’re not responsible for all that, are we?” “Have you ever noticed that whenever you have a problem, you are there?” he asked.“It’s all about 100 percent responsibility for every- thing. No exceptions. There’s no loophole that lets you off the hook for something you don’t like.You’re responsible for all of it—all.”
I was thrown off so bad, I stopped reading this for a while and spoke to my mentor about it. She said I shouldn’t mind it and, I quote, “know how the spiritual books are.”
And yes, I do know how spiritual books are. And I certainly know they do not and should not blame a survivor for getting sexually assaulted, claiming they chose to get r*ped.
So after months and months of letting this book sit on my desk and stare at me, I decided to DNF....more

The story, the action, and the mystery were there to make this an intriguing addition to the series but I couldn't help but grow tired of some scenes. They felt dragged which ultimately killed the action.
Poor Aang fails to have a personality in a series named after him is just sad really. This is the fourth book of the series and he still lacks character. He doesn’t do anything aside from doing Avatar stuff which is, you know, spirits and fights. It’s a bummer really. Thank God we didn’t get to see all the other characters get butchered in this one.
They nailed Zuko and his arc again which is why I keep giving this series high ratings. Also, fuck Azula. I'm done defending her. ...more

I liked having Toph as the focus of the story. She was the Toph we always knew, even when it came to facing his father after years. She still stood up to him after everything. That's my Toph Beifong! I also liked her little crush. Watching her trying to flirt was nice, it’s a side of her we don’t get to see a lot.
One thing I've noticed haunted me through the story though... Why did Toph have green eyes instead of the usual gray ones? It was freaky. I wish I could unsee it.
Sokka, again, didn't have a place in this story. He was just there to be funny. Aang, again, was only there for the spirit side of the adventure.
And Katara is never beating the trophy-wife allegations. SOMEBODY BRING THE REAL KATARA BACK TO ME....more
