Written by F. C. Yee, they follow the adventures of the avatars 2 and 4 generations prior to aang, Kyoshi and Yangchen.
It's two duologies, as you may be able to infer.
They offer some incredible action, maturity beyond the shows, different takes on the role of the avatar, and are incredibly well written. Also have canonically queer characters and THEY'RE FUCKING AMAZING.
Legacy came out like a week ago and I think it may be the last novel, at least from Yee's writing, but these four books are up there with some of the best content Avatar has ever offered.
I always see people say they want to see more of past avatars, complaining about Korra losing that connection to her past lives, etc. Well HERE IT FUCKING IS. TWO STORIES ABOUT TWO AVATARS, ONE OF WHICH IS A FAN FAVORITE. It's so fucking frustrating. These books are so good I wanna cry.
Also don't be fooled. If you think Yangchen's gonna be similar to aang because she's an airbender you are sorely mistaken.
i literally do not care abt the new avatar after korra i wanna know more abt the past avatars like gimme the armless girl the waterbender girl the 2nd avatar the main earth girl in that one painting PLS I JUST WANNA SEE RANGSHI AND YANGVIK ANIMATED
i finished the legacy of yangchen and immediately decided to fix the lack of kavik content on here, can't believe i was blind to his potential until yesterday
(read the last one as how they would react to their love interests btw)
