This is a review for the Kindle edition of ALL the Avatar art books.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

If you ordered the book and you own it physically, then this review isn't for you. The physical edition of the books are beautiful and are a treasure to hold. The Kindle edition on the other hand, is far from it. The main reason being is that it's treated like a 'book' and not a 'comic'. People are most likely asking why that matters? The reason is the zoom. I look at these on my phone, and even with a triple tap zoom its extremely hard to appreciate the art, or what is written. Comic's you can manually increase in size, or go into a guided reading mode that focus's panel to panel. Both would make this a great experience to look through.

Overall buy physically, ignore it on kindle till they fix them.

Absolutely gorgeous! The Avatar art books continue to be a must have for fans

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

As someone who bought the ATLA art book and the first Korra art book when they respectively came out, I had been looking forward to purchasing the remaining three Korra art books. It took a few years, but I finally got around to buying this one. As of this writing, Book 2 and Book 4 are both out of stock for some reason, but thankfully Book 3 (it helps that Book 3 is my favorite in the show) is not.

The pictures don't do the book justice. Yes, these books are pricey but they are more than worth it for Avatar fans. Really happy that Dark Horse continues to put out quality books in the Avatar universe; the paper is nice and thick. I can't wait to put this alongside the two other Avatar art books and the Library Editions of the comics.

I'm particularly excited to go through this book as I rewatch the season, and read each chapter after watching its respective episode.

Come on, it's Avatar, what else do ya need to know?

and ideas that went into creating this wonderful season. I have to say that book three ...

Wow, this book really shows all the paintings, storyboards, sketches, and ideas that went into creating this wonderful season. I have to say that book three of Korra was my favorite, between the horribly terrific villains, the new found air benders, a few very dramatic sad scenes, and also scenes that make you tear up with joy.... this book does all of it justice. It also ties in a few connection with Avatar, such as a few specific spots in Ba Sing Se that Iroh stayed in during his refugee days now being the home to Bolin and Mako's grandmother. You get to see who Ryu is designed after.... there is just soo much in this book. I cannot wait for the next one!!

Keeping it up with great artwork!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

Great art as always!!! So this is the 3rd Art of Korra book that I purchase. Besides the stunning artwork, there is some information shared by the show creators that you might find useful. Some classic locations are revisited and updated, and we get a little more background story from some characters.

Like I said before, the art is just wonderful; this is a very enjoyable book for both Korra fans and art fans. Both the painted backgrounds and the animation pencil tests are my favorite. You might be asking why 4/5 stars? Well, the book focuses more on locations, new characters. Our main characters (team avatar) are kind of missing this time. I would have loved to see them depicted in this book but the truth is their costumes remained almost the same throughout the whole season (book). Maybe that's why they weren't featured as much as we would have liked.

The depth is amazing.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2017

Like the other books in this "Art of Korra" series, book 3 does not disappoint. Almost 200 pages of wonderful drawings, concept art, and storyboards.

The best part of all these books, as far as I'm concerned, is the last chapter. Full of miscellaneous/ancillary art that doesn't quite fit into an episode, there's always one or two pieces that will blow me away.

For book 3, it's the drawing of Zaheer and his friends when they were young. To see these "villains" as young adults, happy, with no cares or struggles weighing them down, is an amazing thing. The show itself did a great job portraying sympathetic bad guys, but this piece (and others like it) can really make you feel sorry for them, almost as if they're a sad parallel to Team Avatar.

Point is, these books are an amazing compliment to an amazing series, and without them we'd never get to see all the happy, sad, soulful extra pieces of art like this one.

Do yourself a favor and pick all these art books up.

Art awesome! :D Damaged product :C

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2016

Disclaimer: I posted five stars based on the book's contents rather than the product's condition.

Book Three: Change was my favorite season of Korra personally, so I'm really glad to have this book. Even though it hurts my wallet, I'm happy that each season of Korra has its own book so the show's art has maximum exposure and we can go in-depth into each episode of the series.

Like the other Art of Korra books, this one contains lots of background and environment paintings and plenty of character, outfit, object, and vehicle designs. There are also storyboards and key animation scattered throughout which are my favorite part! Each episode gets its own mini chapter with the art and design used in each episode and there is also the usual "Ancillary Art" section with extra doodles, promotional art, and other fun stuff. And of course, the book starts off with brief introductions from the season's three key figures: Mike, Bryan, and Joaqium.

Unfortunately for my copy, it looks like something heavy ended up on the lower left corner of the book, bending it slightly backwards so that the front cover is ripping off a little bit (I can see the binding) and the inner pages near the binding are also bent. I don't think it's damaged enough to cause the book to fall apart anytime soon, so rather than pay shipping to get it replaced, I just superglued the ripped parts down. It IS a book after all and the other 99% of each page is undamaged so why end up wasting the book? \ O~O / I did buy the book "New," though, so that was disappointing.

All in all I'd definitely go for this book on Amazon unless you want a pristine, brand spanking new copy, then I might check elsewhere but prepare to pay about $10 more.

Another excellent offering of pre-production artwork

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

As with the previous art books for the Avatar franchise, this stunning book is a collection of the character and prop designs, storyboards and environment paintings that went into each episode of Book 3 as it returns to the roots of the Last Airbender saga as Korra and gang travel the world on a new quest, reintroducing familiar locations such as Ba Sing Se as well as new, previously unseen places and the characters who live in them.

As before, the amount of detail on every page is immense, it truly shows the passion that the creators have for this franchise as each location looks like a real place that invites you to explore every detail and every character is unique with their own personality. There are a few more storyboards and key frame animation drawings than in previous books, mostly featuring the epic fight scenes that appear in this season, but there are some storyboard sequences for non-combat scenes that feature humorous interactions between the characters.

As with the previous books, the concept art is laid out in chapters for each episode and features annotations provided by the franchise creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko as well as producer Joaquim Dos Santos, and as usual there is an additional chapter for humorous art drawn by the production crew.

This book is 184 pages long and filled with concept art that is excellently printed on high quality paper and features another beautiful painting on the front cover. I highly recommend this book for fans of the Avatar franchise who have already collected the previous books or for fans of animation in general and though it is with some sadness, I also look forward to the final art book for Korra's fourth and final season.
