They need to be reminded of that fact.Īlso, the book is a fantastic exploration of ethics, justice, and corruption in general, I think, as well as destiny and responsibility (especially as an Avatar). ✦ They’re humans like us, made of skin and guts and pain. And the spirits help anyone who would take this from me. The sudden clarity of her realization caused her mirth to evaporate. ✦ This is what I need to keep safe above all else. ✦ To Kyoshi that had been the easiest lesson to take in. I’m just going to drop more quotes because I love her so much: Seeing her grow into her Avatar identity and become the fierce, powerful Kyoshi we know was absolutely delightful. Her being identified as the Avatar late and coming from an abandoned, impoverished background meant that she always had to fight for everything in her life, even basic things she should have been entitled to. Kyoshi was a girl who was never viewed with any kind of respect or importance her entire life, aside from three people. She’s just such an amazing character, and her development throughout the book was truly incredible you can really see where her desire for justice was born. Kyoshi is probably my second favorite part of the book. Read it for them, if not for anything else!! Just never look away.Īnd I’m just going to link you to this very convincing tweet I made, as well as more quotes. Maybe that’s the only way we get through this, Kyoshi thought. ✦ With their eyes on each other, it was easy to be brave. ✦ Kyoshi realized that comforting her throughout the night was both an honor and a torture she wouldn’t have traded for anything in the world. ✦ “You don’t think you deserve peace and happiness and good things, but you do!” Rangi yelled. This is a f/f romance (bisexuals won with Kyoshi!), and I truly cannot believe a cis man wrote it because it is absolutely delicious. Genuinely one of my favorite fictional relationships of the year, probably.
