- Randy Ribay joins host Josh Sippie to discuss the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, including discussion around the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series, Legends of Korra, the comics and novels and what it was like to write into this universe in The Reckoning of Roku.
The Reckoning of Roku is the searing fifth installment in the Chronicles of the Avatar series, exploring the beginning of Roku’s journey from privileged Fire Nation noble to the powerful but indecisive Avatar whose hesitancy may ultimately pave the way for the Hundred Year War.
