About this listen
From National Book Award finalist Randy Ribay comes a gripping new chapter—starring Avatar Roku—in the New York Times bestselling Chronicles of the Avatar series, set in the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
A young Avatar Roku has only just commenced his training at the Southern Air Temple when his erstwhile friend, Prince Sozin, requests his aid in preventing the Earth Kingdom from claiming a remote Fire Nation island. Despite his inexperience, Avatar Roku slips away with the help of an irritating young Airbender named Gyatso. As the reluctant companions delve deeper into their wayward mission, they begin to realize that even greater threats lie ahead. Plagued by self-doubt but eager to prove himself, Roku fights for his life and the lives of others while ensuring that the hidden secret of the island doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
This searing fifth installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series explores the beginning of Roku’s journey from privileged Fire Nation noble to the powerful but indecisive Avatar whose hesitancy may ultimately pave the way for the Hundred Year War.

Story is set pretty early in Roku’s training at the Air Temple and focuses on his friendships with Sozin and then fledgling with Gyatso as well as focus on a new character I wound up quite liking
It expands on the characters histories past what was shown in the episode “The Avatar and The Fire Lord” including their parents and shows the seeds for their future
I enjoyed Nancy Wu’s narration having listened to her read the X-Men Mutant Empire trilogy even reusing a few voices making me double take or laugh
There’s some quick references to things from both Airbender and Korra that admittedly irk me a bit as there implied to be knowledge not available at this point in history but their minor and don’t hurt the over all story
Pretty good

My problem is that when the 3 main characters are male you REALLY don't want to hear them sound female. This narrator did a good job with expressions however it's clear she's never watched the series because no one sounds anything like how they do in Avatar The Last Airbender, yes they are younger here but their voices are too different and far too feminine! this was such a huge let down especially when we know Roku has such a deep voice.
For the Kyoshi novels this narrator would have been good but here it just doesn't fit and it really shows. Such a shame but hopefully The Awakening of Roku uses a male narrator.
Wrong narrator choice

they make soson and roku unlikeable: roku is made a nivese over trusting idiot so that he would not suspect or understand that soson is to blame for all of this.
and soson is made unlikable in ever way, he gose very hard on the racism especially agenst the air and earth people. only roku like him by the end, because he thinks just because they are friends he can have any ulterior motives despite being a prince snd telling him no matter what you are fire nasion before the avatar.
all in the same chapter he let's an enemy nation walk away with a resource the fire nation did not know they had, so that the earth kingdom wouldn't have then rightfully executed for hight treason and International terrorism.
you are an idiot.
