The Shadow of Kyoshi by F.C. YeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
F.C. Yee seems to enjoy operating in duologies about kickass, enormously tall Asian girls - whether it's Genie Lo, or Avatar Kyoshi. The second half of Kyoshi's YA adventure picks up with her place as the Avatar assured after it was in doubt for so much of Book 1, but still, there are those who question her title and prowess - an easier question to pose when she's having greater and greater trouble negotiating with world leaders (and navigating the drama in their courts, particularly the royal court of the Fire Nation, where he who is officially the Fire Lord isn't exactly up to the task and everyone knows it) and connecting with her past lives like Kuruk, Yangchen, and Szeto. But at least she's still got her own Team Avatar to stand alongside her with immense loyalty - and love, especially in Rangi's case. Love to stan a bisexual queen, yes we do in this house!
