The characters were definitely the strong suit of the show, but I did like the plot. Having the main message for this book be the hero should try to understand the villain so that she could empathize with them seems totally new, but awesome. Like Toph said, most of the bad guys did have good reasons for their actions, and led the way for beneficial change, even if they were misguided. For being a wise man, Tenzin is just terrible with people in general. Its as if he has no idea how anyone could possibly think differently than him, and is constantly surprised when they don't listen to him. He does a lot of cool things, but man... he seems so dense at times.    I think the writing suffered from all the books coming out so far apart. each one pretty much could have been the ending to the series, unlike  the original, which only wrapped things up at the very end.
