To put that in context, AINA actually required me to put my thinking cap on and really consider deeply a lot of what I'd read. That's not bad! It's a good thing! In fact, I prefer what I read to make me do that.
This little piece, though, was a lot more fun than needing to spend four or five ours getting all my stuff down coherently. :)
Anyway, nickel summary: AINA had some really subtle, really interesting stuff going on with Korra that may or may not be all in my head, especially as it relates to her flying solo without a Krew. I have much to say about the use of New Avalon, which I feel has been underutilized as a setting since focus shifted away from CSI:NA.
It also had what I felt were some very, very rough conceptual issues.
Details to follow.
