"Avatar The Last Airbender: Team Avatar Tales" || A mini book review

Hello book friends!

I'm continuing with the ATLA comic books and today I'm here with a short review of "Team Avatar Tales". If you want to know what I thought of the previous comic book in the series ("The Rift"), you can check my full review here.

This is a collection of mini team Avatar stories that occur after the events of the show and in between the other "main" comic books. Some of the stories are just pure fun and enjoyment and some others carry a bit of a theme or a moral message in them. This is one of the weaker comic books in the avatar universe. It was fun and entertaining, but surely not as good as the others. I rated it 3*, because I didn't love it as much as the others, but it was still fun.

The strongest stories were "Rebound" (Mai's story) which, as I understand, also becomes pretty relevant later on in the story (what with Kei Lo's appearance and Mai standing up to her father and taking her little brother away), and "Sisters" (Ty Lee's story) which seems to play an important role in her character development and her overall arc. The funniest one was probably "Toph and the Boulder". "Origami" was sweet and nostalgic. "Shells" was classic kickass Suki being cool and empowering! The rest of the stories were not as good, but still okay.

The illustrations in this one do not follow the familiar pattern that most of the other main comic books use, instead, it follows the "Lost adventures style" of having many new and different styles of illustrations between stories. I didn't love all of the illustrations equally, some were better than others, but it is always fun and refreshing to see the new styles and have a bit of variety. 

It was a nice, fun read, but nothing great and with the exception of Mai's and Ty Lee's story you wouldn't really miss much if you skipped it and just went on with the rest of the comic books. The only two stories that add anything to the overall plot and characters are "Rebound" and "Sisters" and the others aren't necessary to the overall universe. You could go on reading the rest of the comic books and skip this one without really missing much, but if you want to see more of the characters you love and you don't mind, you could still enjoy it. 

Thank you for reading!
