I had to put LoK on pause myself but that's because the second season was a bit "eh" which made me less thrilled about its return.

If it helps you any, the 3rd season is much better than the 2nd.

The 2nd season was a mess because the Korra writers originally only planned on having one season (hence why Korra Book 1 was so self-contained and really didn't transition into the start of another story at the end). So then all of a sudden Nickelodeon said "hey, write three more seasons" and they were like "fuuuuuck what do we do now?" which led to the 2nd season coming out really rushed and messy - hence why the only really good parts were the beginning and the end, with the middle being filled with sloppy filler.

As of this season, it looks like they finally know what they're doing and they can put together a cohesive story again. I haven't finished it yet (only have, like, 2-3 chapters left, though, depending on whether or not you count the finale as one or two chapters) but from what I've seen, the story is held together much better than the 2nd or even the 1st season. Also the bending matches look gorgeous, and so do all the spirits. (And unlike in the 2nd season, we get said gorgeous bending and spirits all throughout the story rather than only at the beginning and end.)

It's kind of funny because the first chapter of book 3 is titled "A Breath of Fresh Air" or something similar to that. I feel like that title refers more to the writers' situation than anything else. XD
