How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsLOVED LOVED LOVED it
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016
LOVED LOVED LOVED it! We wanted to thank you as both a woman and as a mother of a young son. We read every night before bed, and I cannot start to recount the amount of sexism there is in children's books --especially older books, which we inherited a lot of. I am not quite sure how I managed to survive my childhood (I read voraciously as a child) with my confidence and sense of self intact.

The newer books are usually much better are portraying girls and gender, but often do so on a more superficial level. For example I am very grateful that the Ninjago series (which my son is obsessed with) included the character of Nya, but she somehow seems added on as an afterthought, and a lot of time is spent matching her up as a date with various of the Ninja.

The female characters in the Avatar/Airbender books seems to be very different--at least judging from the Smoke and Shadows trilogy, which is the one we have. The female characters are central to the story. They are both heroes and villains. They are made up of the same balance of toughness and vulnerability as the male characters. The male and female characters interact both as team members and as love interests. And I love how the little girl asks Kiyi to "marry her".

You would think, in 2016, that all this would be standard. But trust me, your books are the exception rather than the rule... well, except for books that are deliberately contrived to convey a socially just message about gender, race, ethnicity, etc., But my son seems to pick up on this --he seems to have an aversion to these types of books, unfortunately. (And trust me--as a progressive, female, African-American teacher of social justice issues, I have tried! :-)

It is important to me as a woman, as a teacher, and as a mother of an impressionable 7-year-old son that you continue doing what you are doing! Much gratitude!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Nation Foursome! 2nd Best in the Series!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016
Verified Purchase
Best Avatar comic series since The Search. If you love the Fire Nation Foursome, then you will love the Smoke and Shadow series. Get deeper insight into the Maiko relationship and Ty Lee/Mai friendship along with an actual relevant plot that The Rift seemed to lack. Great read for fans of the series, especially those who want more Zuko and more Fire Nation.

My kids and I really love these books. I wish that they would start making the cartoon again. Nonetheless, the suspenseful ending on this one is great! However, now I have to wait until April for the next one agh 😩

The stories are so good. They should have never ended the series because clearly there is so much more growth and development to these characters and loose ends. Please keep telling the stories.
