I hadn't heard or read anything about RWBY before picking this audiobook before. I enjoyed the story but wasn't a new favorite and not quite intrigued to continue on with the series

Fast-paced and action packed, we find ourselves thrust into the heart of Vacuo, where team CFVY has decided to continue their education at Shade Academy.E.C. Meyers, an extremely talented author, does an incredible job of weaving canon moments into flashbacks, which give us a much deeper look at our beloved team. New information such as much-awaited reveal of semblances and weapon names is seamlessly integrated throughout the story.With the flashbacks, we get to see important moments like their

Quite a good little book, very easy and effortless read. Fans of YA should pick this up, not just fans of the RWBY franchise. I feel a lot more affection for Team CFVY now.

This was a surprisingly fun little romp in the world of RWBY! I wasn’t sure what to expect from a novel about a show that Is so extremely visual - and a few descriptions and explanations are only done briefly, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who wasn’t already familiar with the show, but I’m really glad I stuck with it. It gets a lot better as it goes and gives a lot of very good background detail that the show will absolutely never get the chance to explore. It was a bit quick too, but it

In all honestly, this book wasn't amazing. The writing was often dry and repeated the same words quite often on a page, it felt hard to read even during the faster scenes. The plot wasn't incredible either, predictable. The area where this book shines is in the characters. There was no way Team CFVY couldn't have caught your attention in the early volumes of RWBY. And unfortunately, we didn't get to see much of them at all. This book was definitely what I was waiting for in terms of character ex...

I am a huge fan of RWBY and I was really looking forward to this novel of team CFVY. The novel was....disappointing. For me, it will join the realm of fanon along with the mangas. Now, for the why of labeling the novel as “disappointing.”The writing was bad. When the book was announced, I was heartened to see a well published author had been tapped to write the novel. So I am frustrated that the writing is as poor as it is.I dislike books that have multiple POV first person narration because it

I love RWBY so I loved this book. It gave details about Team CVFY that we’ve never learned before. I love that Coco is a lesbian and I really ship Yatsuhashi and Velvet! I love how Yatsuhashi has this desire to protect Velvet. Also I loved Fox’s character so much! He was hilarious. I loved how he made blind jokes like Toph from airbender XD. He and coco’s first meeting was pretty funny. I absolutely love their partnership! I love how they added to each character’s backstory. I wish we got more i...

I know I'm biased because I love RWBY already, but I cannot bring myself to rate it less than 5 stars. It seems to have enough unobtrusive explanation of the world of Remnant that someone unfamiliar with the show can easily follow along, while not only being just generally the sweet, sweet content fans crave on any hiatus, but also full of lots of fun easter eggs, like settling the fan debate of whether Ozpin's omnipresent mug was always filled with coffee or hot chocolate.For those who wish to

-Spoiler-Free Review From A RWBY Fanboy-This was an amazing book, without doubt, and I will definitely be thinking about reading it again in the future. The book takes place largely in 2 halves, with half being the adventure set some time shortly after Sun Wukong left team RWBY and JNR behind, and half being a collection of snippets from team CFVY's time at Beacon going from their first meetings all the way to their choice to leave Beacon behind and enroll at Shade academy to finish off their Hu...

A reasonable addition to the RWBY Universe that fans of the show are sure to find some enjoyment in. I originally picked this up because I wanted to be familiar with what has happened in Vacuo with Team CVFY before the characters arrive there in Volume Nine. 'After the Fall' by E.C. Myers, however, is the definition of a mixed bag.For one, it falls into the trap that much of the paratextual RWBY content does. It cannot decide who it is for. It explains simple concepts like aura and semblances, f...

I had pretty low expectations before reading this and I can’t say it was spectacular but it was decent. The story was kinda random as it’s just team CFVY on a mission, but I liked seeing the characters and how they work together with their semblances and skills. Though I wish they had expanded on Carmine and Gus more, that will probably be in the next book though. Overall I enjoyed it and was a good expansion of the world of remnant 3.5 stars.

This book, in my opinion, didn’t need quite so many POVs, flashbacks (literally who thought it was a good idea to put a big flashback in the middle of a fight scene?), and backstories. Especially the shoehorned team RWBY flashbacks really went on my nerves – yes, they are the protagonists of the show this book is based on, but they don’t need fifteen thousand cameos in a story that isn’t about them at all. There was so much material that is filler, that what we saw from the actual storyline seem...

RWBY is one of my favorite shows with adorable main characters who kick ass, cheesy puns, and amazing character development. I desperately need to catch up with Volume 6 at some point. It's no surprise I'd get my hands on a copy of After the Fall. This is the first in a series based on the show.After the Fall doesn't focus on Team RWBY like the show does, though. The book is set a year after the fall of Beacon, focusing on team CFVY as they are settling into a new life at Shade Academy to contin...

Almost the moment that this novel was announced, my husband and I had to pre-order it. He's a huge RWBY fan and got me into the series, and getting an entire novel based around Team CFVY was such an exciting prospect! He hasn't read this yet, but I'm glad I finally managed to finish it.I should start by saying that before I read After the Fall, I did come across a video on YouTube that discussed how the book fits into the RWBY canon timeline of events, so I was obviously spoiled for almost the e...

This is my first time reading a book based on some other form of media (that I can remember), in this case an animated web series. If you’ve never seen RWBY before I feel like the book does try to take into account new fans and doesn’t shy away from explaining concepts people who have watched the show already understand, but since I’m not going into this with no knowledge I’m not sure how successful the attempt was. If you do want to watch the show before reading the book you only need to watch

I finished this book in a single night. I haven't finished a book in a single night for four years.After the Fall is an enjoyable spin-off on the RWBY animated series, starring the one and only Team CFVY (Coffee). I fell in love with Team CFVY the moment they kicked butt in the Volume 2 finale, and I never thought they got enough screentime afterwards. So imagine my joy when I heard this book was a thing!Speaking of the characters, they're what really sells the book. I love all of them. Some mor...

Bit late for a review I guess, but better late than never?I really wanted to give this book more stars. I love RWBY, and I wanted this book to be great. And... don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading it and there's a lot of good stuff in it. But, from a storytelling perspective, it has so much unused potential that it hurts to think about what it could've been.First, the positive stuff: It's a really fun book. The writing style is snappy and quippy, just what you'd expect from something in

This does a great job of fleshing out a team (that had a lot of potential) who were only ever really in the background of the show. However, it’s not an easy book to jump into if you don’t know anything about the RWBY universe. There’s a tiny bit of explanation for worldbulding but it's not much. It assumes you already know the basics, which is a detriment to new fans in my opinion. But on the whole, it's a solid entry into the universe.

I really wanted to unreservedly like this book, but, no. The backstories on Coco, Yatsu, and especially Fox (one of my favorite male characters) were welcome. But how, I ask the authors, could you completely ignore how Velvet discovered her Semblence and how she ended up with a camera as a weapon? Considering you have one of the RWBY script writers listed as a contributer this is inexcusable. I will not be persuing any further books in this series.

Though flawed and a little muddled, AFTER THE FALL is a RWBY adventure perfect for any fan.Spoilers for RWBY up to the end of volume 3.RWBY (pronounced ruby) is an anime-esque web animation series from Rooster Teeth, following the journey of Ruby Rose, a Huntress-in-Training as she learns to fight against the dark creatures of Grimm. I absolutely adore this show, from the setting to the characters to the visuals to the story. The plot itself of the show is flawed and not at all perfect, but over...
