Editorial Review:

The long-running series Avatar the Last Airbender comes to a dazzling conclusion in Book 3 Fire, Volume 4. Poised for quite a number of episodes (seen in previous volumes) to go to war against the tyrannical Fire Nation, Aang the young Avatar and his cohorts must now bring down the Fire Lord and his army, or watch them ramp up their destructive powers during an imminent solar eclipse. But there's a lingering question only Aang can answer: can the Avatar, who has never killed anyone, bring himself to take the Fire Lord's life? That is what he must do, according to Zuko, the Fire Prince who has thrown in his lot with Aang and the latter's friends.

While Aang is sorting that out--receiving various wisdoms from past Avatars and advice from a giant turtle-lion creature--Zuko and Katara take another leg of the battle by confronting Zuko's crazed sister. Meanwhile, Sokka re-asserts his latent talent for commanding dangerous missions as he and earth-bender Toph attempt to sabotage Fire Nation airships. The final episodes on this disc are thrilling, in no small part because they have been so long in arriving. Before those, however, there are a couple of interesting chapters to get through, including "The Southern Raiders," in which Katara attempts to exact revenge for the disappearance of her mother. As always, there's some comic relief, in this case "The Ember Island Players," in which our heroes experience the ignominy of watching some of their previous adventures become a ridiculous, staged play. --Tom Keogh

Great series for kids & adults...

I'm so glad I purchased the whole Avatar series, part on Amazon Unbox Service and the rest via Amazon DVD purchase. I've so enjoyed the entire Avatar series with my kids and have been amazed as to the depth the writers have put into it. At first glance it might look like just another cute kids anime cartoon but on closer examination I found wonderful examples of interpersonal relating, forgiveness, inner healing, anger management, trust of self and of soul predispositions & healing. I noted one of the most simple, elegant, yet complete expressions of the chakra system in a way that kids could begin to understand their emotional state of being and how this interacts with the body's energy centers as well as subtle suggestion as to how to begin the path to being balanced and free of emotional baggage yet rich in energy and expression... So much more.

While I understand that some of strong religious devotion may see some of this content as evil or bad, I personally found it refreshing, very much about balance, healing and learning to truly Be a heart based human, not just act like one, so many encouragements to real authenticity... I applaud the writers of this series and encourage more!

Avatar Book 3 Fire Volume 4

I have the entire Series and love them all for both me and my children. I have only one complaint about Book 3 Fire and that is it only comes in English. Books 1 and 2 were available in multiple languages. My children have just arrived to this country, speaking only Spanish and I have to hold Book 3 until they understand English. Books 1 and 2 were brought to foreign soil and they enjoyed Avatar immensely.

Great story

Two guy friends of mine told me they watched this with their kids and it was great. My teenaged son and I started watching and it is one of the best stories I've seen in a long time. We've watched all the episodes, and will watch them again. I highly recommend this to any age, young or old.

Hmmmmm

This was overall a great series. The ending is a little weak - like the writers ran out of ideas. There are still a lot of unanswered questions so that leads me to think there maybe more to come. Without giving any of this ending away, I pose the question of whether the air nation finds rebirth in the mist of end of the tyranny? The one thing that makes this weak is the switching back and forth between being on the quest and shucking off time like the end of the world is not near. But much of the action will wash all the knit picking thoughts away and you will enjoy it.

Avatar The last Airbender

This DVD arrived on time and was great to watch. Although I wish they could of showd what happened to Zuko and if he found his mother. Also what happened to Azula I mean does she go to prison or does she just leave or loose her firbending abilities? But otherwise it was a great DVD to watch.
