I like the premise you have of Azula being the Avatar. It is well-written also well written.

The problem that I have with this story is the way it is written. The story's progression is too quick and confusing. The execution of what happens isn't well thought out and too short. It came to the point that it became hard to read.

All in all. This is an okay story, but it could have been written better. When writing a story, you should take your time. Show the planning and describing the execution of those plans, not just going from point to point.

Love this fic and your way with words, I was hooked start to finish and will definitely be keeping this for a reread. Fantastic work!

beyond disappointing. an utter and complete let down. all that effort setting up the azula ozai dynamic and coming confrontation, and instead I got a queeflike deus ex plot armor cow dookie. this literally made the time i spent reading the rest of the story seem like an absolute waste of effort. you made qzula the avatar and then wrote her out of mattering.

oh my gosh this is probably my fave avatar azula fic. It's fantastic how even though Azula is the Avatar, the characterization stays true to her personality. Her moral and ethical dilemma throughout this fic is super realistic for her, her rough relationship with Katara and Sokka is also pretty realistic. Glad that they're still friends at the end of the day though. I'm also so glad that Katara kind of serves as Azula's moral compass at times. And a brilliant Mai! wow. Thank you; I really enjoyed this fic.

"You are not my mother," Azula says, something breaking in her heart as she turns away from Ursa's sad, beautiful face.

This is the part that really drove it all home for me. The constant battle to turn away her demons demonstrates Azula’s strength and it’s what makes her great. It’s what drew me to her character in canon and you’ve changed the game on my standards for fic characterisation and intensive plot.

I also loved how you incorporated Toph and Lin into this story. Actually if I think about it, every character was a welcome inclusion because of how believable and raw they felt. The way that you explored their characters while keeping us guessing with intrigue was really just masterful.

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy such a beautiful story. It was a hell of a ride!

This had so many ups and downs that practically CRUSHED my soul. I just want everyone to be happy... but great story. That was a lot of fun to read.

this is one of my favorite atla fics. I was reading this when it was still getting updated but was and still am the laziest reviewer ever. I still come back to this fic even now and just wanted to let you know that someone is still reading or even re-reading it lol.

Strange story, but I liked it. Has a somewhat confusing sort of flow, especially around the start, but it all largely starts making sense after a bit as details are filled in. Azula makes for one hell of an interesting Avatar, and I'm glad you worked her canon personality alongside her new role so well.

Thank you for the story. I enjoyed it immensely thank you again.

what was the point of all the political maneuvering if they're still doing the invasion plan from teh cartoon?

or more accurately, what was the point of the invasion if zuko already controlled the home guard and was almost in with enough of the commanders to take a fairly clean transfer of power?
are the two halves of the party just not talking for no reason?

i never understood why the avatar cartoon treated ba sing se as some kind of utopia in the final couple episodes rather than something that needs to be burned down, what with iroh blabbering on about how he was meant to protect the city rather than siege it

the finale felt weirdly out of character for the series in general

Wow, just... Wow. This is absolutely fantastic. I don't know how I couldn't find this gem before. I went to the Avatar page here on FF, sorted by follows and with the "complete" status, then kept scrolling looking for Azula and Ty Lee fics. I just stumbled across this from there after going through an ocean of Zuko and Katara fics, and I'm so sad that this sin't easier to find. It's absolutely amazing.

The most respectable thing I can offer as praise is that I love how concise you are. There aren't any unnecessarily long dumps of exposition, everything is to the point. But, it's not to the point that all the minute details are lost. There are so many small things, like facial expressions, or small gestures, that really make this stand out.

I would honestly be here all day singing praises on this story if I could, but this is just perfect. The storytelling, the way you portrayed the characters (bonus points for having Toph be an Avatar and including Lin without runing the fic with a bunch of Korra garbage) having the Avatar Spirit be the Spirit of the World, TyZula, just everything. It's also nice to find fics that have such good grammar. I couldn't find a single typo in all of this, and I tend to have a rather observant eye for doing so.

TL:DR this story is perfect and my only regret is not having found it sooner.

Przyjemna historia.

Great story. I loved it from beginning to end. I like how you characterized Azula, and Mai and Zuko dealing with the Fire Court.
It's really good!

I devoured this fanfic over the course of three days. It was absolutely stunning. I have always found it incredibly difficult to find good atla stories, let alone AUs, but this was a beautiful tale- unique from the original, yet still honoring the characters and themes. The moment I gasped aloud was when Lin showed up. I had thought this was written before Legend of Korra- and indeed, some part of my mind mourned all those lives who were never born because of the altered timeline. But then she showed up, and it was beautiful! And I utterly adore how you actually used the brainwashing element of the Dai Lee, and delved into how horrifying that really would be, since it's such an underused element in fandom.

Thank you so much!
