Avatar Szeto to star in next Chronicles of the Avatar books?

(Art by Avatar News)

Avatar Szeto, the fire Avatar before Yangchen, Kuruk, Kyoshi, Roku, Aang, and Korra, could be the main character of the next Chronicles of the Avatar novels.

In a recent interview with Nerds of Color, Chronicles of the Avatar writer F. C. Yee said he doesn't know if he'll be writing more books after Kyoshi and Yangchen, but "if he had his choice of what Avatar to tackle next, he named Avatar Szeto as a possible candidate." 👀🔥

F. C. Yee introduced Avatar Szeto's backstory in the Kyoshi books, revealing that he was born in a time of crisis in the Fire Nation due to natural disasters, plagues, and clan conflict. Instead of using his divine position as Avatar to enforce his rule, he joined the Fire Nation government as an entry-level bureaucrat and worked his way up with no special privileges until he was an advisor to the Fire Lord-- that's why he has that vizier-like hat in the few glimpses of him we see in Aang and Korra's eras.

But as we all know, there's more to every Avatar than their legacy, and in the Yangchen books we learn that Szeto's life was secretly messy and "a library of intrigue in the realm of spycraft and trickery".

His name comes from the Chinese Han dynasty title 司徒 (Sītú) meaning "Minister over the Masses".

"Previous Airbender avatars where taught by the monks, yet they had no problem killing for the greater good."

THE PREVIOUS AVATARS ARE NOT GENOCIDE SURVIVORS AND THE LAST AIRBENDERS

Roku, in disbelieve: I can’t believe it!

Yangchen: What’s wrong?

Roku: Jeong Jeong won’t teach Aang firebending.

Yangchen: Well, yeah, he’s not ready yet. He still hasn’t mastered w-

Kyoshi: Oh screw that, when else is he supposed to learn firebending?

Roku: Exactly!!

Yangchen: Are you guys… agreeing on something?

Kyoshi, to Roku: I say you go to Jeong Jeong and show him who he’s going against.

Roku: Yes, yes, great idea, Kyoshi. Thank you!

Yangchen: Somehow this is worse than the eternal bickering between you two.

[bloodsportified]

the fact that we're getting an animated show about a new earth avatar instead of kyoshi is such a hatecrime. like, who tf asked for this? who wants this? just animate the kyoshi novels literally what is this nonsense decision making.

Chronicles of the Avatar: The Legacy of Yangchen by F. C. Yee hits shelves this summer on July 18th, 2023!

This is the second Yangchen novel after last year's The Dawn of Yangchen, and the fourth Chronicles of the Avatar novel after The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi!

Check out the cover reveal above the the official description below:

“Common enemies make for strange friends . . .

Avatar Yangchen has succeeded in bringing a measure of stability to Bin-Er, but her successes have been limited to a single city, and rumors concerning Unanimity—a weapon capable of total obliteration—have led to increasing tensions among the Four Nations.

Desperate to restore diplomacy, Yangchen attempts to de-escalate hostilities between heads of state. But in the wake of a brutal assassination and the freeing of Unanimity, Yangchen is forced to bring Kavik—the trusted former companion whose betrayal crushed her—back into her fold.

As the Four Nations teeter on the brink of conflict and she begins to unravel the power-hungry Zongdu Chaisee’s true agenda, Yangchen is forced to measure the worth of humanity, and how much can be sacrificed in the name of balance.

This taut and provocative fourth installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series follows Avatar Yangchen as she charts the course of her legacy, finally making peace with her choices and facing Avatarhood with the courage it demands.”

Tag 9 people you’d like to know better

Wow, the thought that @dr-duuude tagged me in this made my whole day😭 Thank you for taking an interest in me :,) Truly an angel.

Last Song: I've had the Across the Spiderverse soundtrack on repeat an unholy amount, so I think it was Hummingbird (last night)? Either that or Givin' Up (because of the Miguel intro, which I just rewind repeatedly over and over hehehe).

Currently Reading: The Dawn of Yangchen! Well, this is the one I'm *actively* currently reading. I never used to be like this, but I've recently become that person who starts reading a book, then starts another one, and another one. So, according to my Goodreads account, I'm actually reading like 8 different books 😅 Not to mention Future State: Gotham Vol. 3!

Currently Watching: Only Murders in the Building! The show so beautifully combines my favorite aspects of television, cinema, and the overall art of bringing stories to life. Just, wow. And I love the cast! I'm also rewatching Clone Wars in preparation for Ahsoka. It's gonna take me so, so long... but will be SO worth it!

Current Obsession: Miguel FUCKING O'Hara has taken over every possible crevice of my mind. I've been going absolutely feral over him, and no amount of smutty fanfiction, gif sets, or thirsty art is enough to satiate the yearning I am experiencing. Literally went to watch ATSV AGAIN last night in theaters just to see him on a gigantic screen as opposed to my phone or my tablet (okay, but also, God - that movie is a masterpiece). Someone send help :)

Would love to get to know more about you🩵 (So so sorry if you've already been tagged!)

i know people are talking about a kyoshi movie but think about a yangchen political drama

[dashiellqvverty]

it feels so lame and cringe that the thing that got me back into reading is the avatar book series but theyre literally SO fucking good. like other YA i’ve tried to read recently i’d felt Talked Down To as a reader (like, obviously im an Adult so its not For Me but as proven by books like these you can write for younger audiences without treating them like idiots) and just couldnt get into things i was even nominally interested in but when i finally finished the first kyoshi book i was like... oh yeah.. books are GOOD. and listened to the audiobook of the second one and like i stalled a bit in between bc i read the first one before my senior year of college and didn��t listen to the next until after and then was so exhausted by work i wasn’t reading/listening much BUT it made me WANT to read again and im finally starting to again now
