COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Sequel submitted by DBJC on July 9, 2018, 3:08pm When this came out, many of us (all of us) expected this series to be the same as the previous series The Last Airbender. I've seen the first season twice now and am still enraptured by the series. Korra is a very different Avatar, older, not as wise, not as patient, but is equally as selfless and brave. The first book of Korra's journey seemed to move quickly the first time I watched it, and then I realized that the pacing is reasonable. The story is good, and the character development is seamless. It's safe to say that this series is character based, focused on character rather than adventure (which, in many ways, The Last Airbender is more focused on adventure). What I am annoyed by is the romantic subplot, which undermines the season. It was messy and a bit unnecessary. But it didn't stop the season from being great.

Book 1: Air submitted by SBNB on June 15, 2020, 10:42am It was hard to transition from The Last Airbender to Legend of Korra. I liked the world creation of The Last Airbender, and seeing those ancient-feeling worlds changed into a more industrial era of the mid 1800s was hard to accept. It all just felt so different. And it was hard to accept that Aang's time as Avatar could have ended in such a mess. But anyway, the story itself was ok and kind of interesting but also kind of annoying. I still want to finish the series, but it's not something binge-worthy like The Last Airbender.
