+## Summary
+
+<i>Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Rise of Kyoshi</i> is a novel prequel to
+the popular animated series <i>Avatar: The Last Airbender</i>.  It tells the
+story of Avatar Kyoshi---a recurring character of the series and a predecessor
+to Avatar Aang---about how she went from an (spoiler alert) orphan servant girl
+to one of the most feared Avatar.
+
+## Comments
+
+I never expected a prequel novel to be so exciting to read.  It leads you from
+one surprise to another.  To quote DiMartino, the co-creator of the franchise,
+
+> Any prequel story presents a unique challenge, [...] [s]ince the reader
+> already knows how things eventually turn out, they are one step ahead of the
+> hero.
+
+Nonetheless, I was drawn in the story with all the new characters who shaped
+the fearsome Avatar we know.  As the events unfold, I am constantly amazed at
+how they fit in the blank of the original story.
+
+Though, as it is a prequel story, watching the original show is a must.
