Summary
Approximately 10,000 years ago, Wan became the first Avatar and locked Vaatu in the tree of time.
Several centuries later Korra, the 7th Avatar, was born. After fleeing into a storm trying to escape her pursuers, Korra wound up entering the avatar state and freezing herself in an iceberg. Over 9,000 years later, after being discovered in the ice by an anthropologist named Asami, she wakes up in a strange new world, where bending has seemingly disappeared, the industrial revolution has turned society on its head, war is tearing apart the Earth Kingdom, a new nation called the United Republic is flooded with refugees, while a theocrat is tightening his grip over the Northern Water Tribe. Avatar Korra will need to learn to navigate this new world and return it to balance, while also preparing for the next Harmonic Convergence.Series

Bookmark Notes:
Eh, I’m torn on this one. Very unique premise, good writing, but also very cringe in a lot of ways.
On one hand, the idea of bending being a long-gone myth and mixing 1930’s Europe with Avatar the last airbender is a genius idea. Making Amon and the equalists a bunch of MAGA-style fascists is also a nice touch. + Guns are cool.
But, a lot of the worldbuilding feels pretty lazy. Like, air nomads, fire nation, earth kingdoms and water tribes should not exist as coherent entities when benders disappear. There shouldn’t be 5 nations, but literally 100s of them based on culture, ethnicity, and more.
Also, it is super preachy about socialism, seeing as how the author is a socialist herself.
Overall, I would say 5/10. As good as it is bad. -
