Avatar, the Last Airbender: The Kyoshi Novels (Chronicles of the Avatar 2-Book Box Set): The Rise of Kyoshi and the Shadow of Kyoshi

The ending of book one left me on a cliffhanger. However, book two answers all the questions I accumulated from the first book. The Shadow of Kyoshi takes place about two years after the end of the first book. At this point, Kyoshi is well-established as the Avatar and has defeated many villains. An invitation from the Fire Lord to Kyoshi offers her an opportunity to see her friend, Rangi, again. But they learn that things in the Fire Nation are not so calm and peaceful. Kyoshi must make some difficult decisions and take down an old friend who turns rouge. With so much turmoil, Kyoshi looks to her past lives for help. In this epic conclusion, Kyoshi must dig deep inside herself to resolve – not only the issues within the Fire Nation – but also her internal conflicts. I would recommend this book to any Avatar fan. Props to F.C. Yee, Michael Dante DiMartino, and everyone else who worked on these Avatar Kyoshi books.
