Bit of an exclusive with this piece of news. 2 weeks ago we got our first look at a new book coming out called Avatar The Last Airbender: Legacy, the listings said it was coming out in October.
I recently contacted the publisher to request extra information about the book and also to request a review copy on behalf of the site. While I was approved for a review copy, I was told that they had just recently found out that the book has been delayed until Spring 2015 and that they will not have an exact date until the start of 2015. So I will have an early review copy of the book it will not be until 2015. A bit disappointing as I was very excited for this book coming out in just a few months and now it is close to a year away.
Luckily I did also get some additional information about this book.
It will have 8 inserts, which are the mementos mentioned in the product description.
Some of the inserts include: A fold out Fire Nation Family Tree, a pamphlet on mastering the 4 bending arts, a foldout map of the Avatar world and a newspaper clipping about the Fire Nation’s attack on the air nomads.
Very interested in the family tree, definite potential for some unnamed characters to get names. Lu Ten’s mother chief among them. It could also explain why the book has been delayed, if this book is going to have a comprehensive family tree it could spoil details like who Zuko married and the name of his daughter.
At least it means they are putting a lot more time into this book, which will hopefully result in a quality book.

Yes the royal family tree and the large map of the Avatar world do sound like good features. Looking forward to this.

i am also looking forward to this, but the delay could mean book 3 is going to be in the midst of what its earlier release date was if indeed there are some spoilers…

It would be great! If seasons 3 and 4 didn’t reveal who were Toph’s husbands, the book will reveal them hopefully. It looks like the fans are more interested in knowing who are they more than knowing the name of Zuko’s daughter.

I enjoyed seeing the 3D Avatar world in book 3 when Harmonic Convergence happened, but having a poster of it would be wonderful! and yes maybe they want to get all their facts straight before putting out more products.. I really like how they are including the Royal Family Tree, very interesting!

Maybe Nick decided to wrap up the ATLA franchise with this book and focus on Korra. Regardless, the book will be interesting. The Fire Nation Family Tree could include characters up to The Search. Revealing the name of Zuko’s daughter and General Iroh’s father for example wouldn’t be a surprise as well.

I think they would reveal it after the show or include it. This book isn’t specified for additional characters to get developed which would be need so people can actually decide if they like the character.
