    I knew how this would end.  I saw that there were only 22 chapters. I saw the Hiatus tag.  But I couldn't help myself.  I'm pretty sure most of the readers on this site will understand what it's like when a great story is abandoned.
    Before you read this, be prepared for the pain that inevitably awaits you.

    I didn't want a political thriller avatar fanfic, but somehow, like when your mother tells you to eat some new food you don't want to try, it turned out to be something I needed.
    I was also pleasantly surprised with the choice of protagonist.  Don't be fooled, our MC isn't some doe eyed Avatar fan with a power fantasy but instead a competent noble reincarnated from the same universe.
    The writing, dialogue, and action flows well with only a few grammatical/editing mistakes that are easily fixed.  The politics and confrontations are logical and typically have good foreshadowing and setup.
    All in all, this some good shit.
    Edit: Hah! I just realized this is another Azureblade work, who is slowly cornering the market on interesting fanfics if you want to check out their other works.

    I find this story from the fire nation perspective to be extremely interesting.
    We have a fire princess who have no claim to the throne, but despite that she works hard for her people, but the flare of Ozai being an irredemable isn't lost but strenghtened even more. It also balances it well with her love and care for her family and also does an eccelent job of humanizing Azula.
    It is also especially exiting seeing a fanfiction being mostly political plots that also has well written fight scenes.

    A clever alternate take on the ATLA universe, with our protagonist taking the role of tactitian, politician and woman of the people. Faithful to the ethos of the original series while taking on a new light to the workings of the Fire Nation and their colonies.
    Well written, with no glaring flaws. The pacing is well laid out, and leaves you eager to read more.
    Style 5/5
    Grammar 4.5/5
    Story 4.5/5
    Characters 4/5
    Pity about the current cliff hanger, I await more chapters.

    I've been a fan of avatar since the first episode. I've even read the books that go past the show. I know the characters and the feel they give off and this captured that feel so fans will! I feel like I'm reading the monologue of a flashback from an actual episode! This has captured my attention and risen my expectations.

    This was as I stated unexpected. I decided to have a go at it due to the summary but wasn't hopeful. My expectations were absolutely blown out of the water.
    This is good. The characters and the developments of those characters, plus their interactions are Very well done. Very recommended.
    Hope the author picks this back up.

    Probably the best Avatar Fan-fiction. Story is logical, progressive and has good character іnteraktion, but chapters are rare.

    The premise of the story is rather clever and innovative for a fan fiction, though ultimately somewhat poorly executed. The OC Azura is a reincarnation of someone already within the ATLA universe. The author is clearly steering away from a typical SI, and creates a brand new role and dynamic.
    Yet I ultimately found the MC uncompelling and very much a mary-sue. The MC is always the best, always has the moral high-ground, is always the most clever etc. etc.
    I appreciate the effort put into the political manuevering, but so far I've found that the political opponents are just fools. The MC literally says 5 sentences and the enemy plan falls apart. There are a dozen ways that shameless, career politicans could put a spin on the crap the MC throws, but they're all too stupid to manuever around an argument.
    I don't like giving low ratings, and from everything I've read the author has put in the time and effort to make this a rather entertaining fiction. Perhaps when there are more chapters and a more fully fleshed out plot with interactions between OC MC and the GAANG I'll come back, but I'm dropping this fiction for now.

    The concept is a good one, held bad by illogical story choices and one sided steam rolling on the side of the MC. Who has no experience justifying the steamrolling, or why all her political opponents just agree with the first (often weak and ahistorical) argument she raises and admit defeat, even at the cost of their lives.
    And early example from chapter 3:
    Magistrate wants to raise taxes
    Admits it might (instead of would, which the MC states and everyone just agrees with) cause colonial rebellion
    Provides an assurance to the militaristic Emperor: Our soldiers can surpress the rebellion and still extract our new taxes, which we can use to strenghten your regime.
    Now MC calls the minister a traitor. Saying he is trying to enrich himself and hamper the war effort by diverting troops.
    Now, assume you are a canny political operator with decades of experience. Do you
    A)  Point out the new moneys can just be used to raise more soldiers? Or that the richer core would benefit the expansion in the long run?
    (AKA the arguments and strategies of literally every colonial goverment)
    or
    B) Admit to being a traitor and beg for forgivness?
    The most infuriating part is that the plotpoint could still work! The MC could simply argue that the civilians in the homeland are feed well enough and at no risk of hampering the war effort and that factory workers don't need silk. An argument that would work with a military dictator! Or point out that they have a manpower shortage, and cant raise new soldiers, even if they now have enough money to equip them!
