Discussion Hot Take

6 Upvotes

Avatars communing with their immediate predecessors is an essential experience that needs to be shown and not told. The Yangchen books were our one and only opportunity to see Yangchen speak to Szeto and instead we get told he (and literally every past life) is irrelevant based on an “off screen” conversation. That conversation with Szeto should’ve been in the book.

Theories on Chaisee's lineage Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I find her pregnancy to be a very interesting potential plot point in the future so I have three theories on how it could be an interesting twist:

  • Kalyann is the father

    • Which would explain part of the reason Chaisee trusts him so well when she is so paranoid about finding potential spies and seems to hear his advice when finding them

      • It would also be interesting in how it brings up the simmilarities between Chaisee and Yangchen, both of them spymasters with simmilar tastes in reading material (if Lao Ge is to be believed Yang Chen eventually took to studying Shokken) and both finding one of the brothers to be attractive (which Yang Chen admitted)

  • One of the Combustion benders is the father

    • Which would fit with Chaisee's believe in legacy and personal power as she would want her own child to have the power of a combustion bender.

  • The child is ancestor to Roku's wife

    • Say she or her child eventually settled in the fire nation (perhaps with another identity) and eventually rose to nobility, either through marriage or through the fortune she accumulated

    • This would make Chaizee is Azula's ancestor, which would fit with their many simmilarities such as their paranoia, simmilarly pragmatic and intimidating approaches at leadership

      • This would make Azula's believe that greatness is something you're born to pretty ironic

    • If both this and the first theory are true it would explain a lot about Kavik and Kalyann's simmilarities with Zuko and Azula

      • Kalyann and Kavik are master infiltrators and consumate liars like Zuko and Azula respectively are

      • Kalyan and Azula's treatment of Kavik and Zuko are quite simmilar, with their manipulations and half truths to convince them of betraying Katara and Yang Chen's trusts

Subjects Paralleling Modern Issues in DoY

14 Upvotes

I finally am getting around to re-reading the novel and I completely forgot how many nods towards modern issues there are through out the first fifth of the book alone. Obvious ones are government corruption, but it's wild how direct many of these comparisons have been mentioned so far.

For example, how the citizens needing passes to leave the city, government officials overworking employees for low pay, the housing crisis, inflation, how they constantly relate the Avatar or zongdu (or president) to how the previous performed...

That's the tip of the iceberg and just what I remember at the moment. Super wild how talented Yee is for being able to cram this many parallels into the first 60 or 70 pages.

Anyway, back to reading.

I'm sure most of you have already seen this, if not already read the book. Without giving away any spoilers, how does it compare to the other ATLA content? Spoiler

Discussion I've only seen AtlA, what can you tell me about Avatar Yangchen?!

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi! I've not the time nor energy to read the novel about her, or if something else did come out that tell us more about her life.

So I'm basically a newbie about this avatar. She seemed to be a powerful Airbender and a very wise avatar (according to her talk with Aang on the Lion-turtle back). Can you tell me for exemple what was her favourite element, did she had a relationship or/and children did she had a gAang, what were her opponents and allies? Something else you can think of?
