![]() Everything written tends to serve a purpose and there isn’t much, if anything, included to pad the pages. Some parts get a little predictable leading up to them, but there are other parts that I did not see happening. The characters add a lot of depth to the story and can be very interesting. The story even explains where Kyoshi got her iconic robes and gauntlets.Īlong the way, we meet a lot of fun and interesting characters such as Rangi who is Kyoshi’s friend and Firebending teacher, Kirima her Waterbending teacher, and Wong her combat teacher. ![]() She then ends up with some very unorthodox teachers. Eventually, all becomes revealed and a character commits an atrocity and Kyoshi ventures off to train as she swears revenge on them. In fact, Kyoshi doesn’t even know she’s the Avatar. Years pass and the men eventually find someone who they believe is the Avatar, but it’s not Kyoshi. ![]() So, The Rise of Kyoshi starts as some men go out looking for the next Avatar after the passing of their friend, Avatar Kuruk. I’ll do my best not to spoil anything though as I talk about it. I’ve had the great pleasure of reading the book and I must say, I loved it. It is the first book in a series that will explore Kyoshi’s life. ![]() ![]() Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi is a new book written by F.C. One of the more popular Avatars is Avatar Kyoshi and that’s exactly who we are getting books about right now. I also know that a lot of fans have wanted to learn more about past Avatars. ![]() ![]() So from the standpoint of a huge fan, it was a good book for me. I wouldn't suggest one read this as an introduction to Connelly but I say this after having read his entire Harry Bosch series and Michael Haller series and I'm just trying to read everything he's written now. My only additional comment would be just a suggestion. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? ![]() I like to just not notice the voice so I can focus on the story and I was able to, so well done. I didn't even pick up on the pronunciations until I read it in the reviews after listening to the book. I did see that some people minded his English pronunciations but his lack of the accent to go with it. I didn't mind his British pronunciations of certain words such as pedophile but I email and speak with Brits on a daily basis and often misspell American English now, myself, so it just doesn't bother me in general. ![]() I've never come across Buck Schirner as a narrator. Have you listened to any of Buck Schirner’s other performances before? How does this one compare? I liked him from other books and loved reading about his background and what brought him to L.A. I'd restart the Bosch series if I couldn't read new books and then move back through to this one I suppose.ĭefinitely Jack is my favorite character. I liked it, I purchased it, but probably wouldn't listen again unless I'm out of new (to me) books. ![]() Enjoyable but not if it's your 1st Connelly book ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “See on the back where they come out.” Above the small of the back were the same two scars, raised as thick as a finger. He pulled up the undershirt onto his chest and stood, his chest black, and big stomach muscles bulging under the light.īelow the line where his ribs stopped were two raised white welts. The count stood up, unbuttoned his vest, and opened his shirt. Sometimes I would take margin notes and sometimes I wouldn’t, leaving me a little confused, now, as I look over the same dog-eared paperback copy, of underlined passages like the following conversation between Jake Barnes, Brett Ashley, and the count: I would dutifully underline the passages the professor read aloud. But I took this class during springtime in Kentucky, which is long and warm, and I would read the book on the largest campus lawn and then shuffle into class with grass stains on my skirt (we had to wear skirts) and listen to my favorite professor tell me what critics had to say about Hemingway’s biography, his writing style, his personal politics, his views on women and Jews. I don’t know if such survey courses even exist anymore, or if Hemingway is still taught to our undergraduates. I first read The Sun Also Rises in college, in a survey course of the American Novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Haunted House: The Ghost in Master B.’s Room ![]() Servants believe in the haunting, and this leads to troubles, so the narrator and his sister decide to change their plans.
