I almost gave this book five stars for the artwork alone. Unfortunately, some significant errors in spelling and editing let it down. 'Fairy Tales of Remnant' is the perfect book for any fan of RWBY or fairy tales in general. Unlike much of the other written RWBY content, I would even say you do not have to be a fan of the show to pick this up. Violet Tobacco's drawings were incredible and each story, even though they were short, was unique and entertaining. There are some minor spoilers through...
There wasn't a single story in this collection that I didn't like. Sure, I liked some more than others, but in the end you can feel all the love and work that has been put into bringing this book into existence. Beautiful stories, beautiful artwork, even the afterword was beautiful.
Dive deeper into the world of RWBY with this gorgeous fairy tale book.OK, I must confess that I haven’t watched the show, yet. The show sounds amazing, and the manga I read set in the world was fantastic… but the style of animation is just NOT my cup of tea. But who knows, I may just check the show out because I want to delve deeper in this very interesting world.This book is a collection of fairy tales/stories/tales from the world of Remnant. It is collected by a man named Professor Ozpin who a...
3.5Some of the stories were flat for me, or would've been better if they were a little longer. I also didn't particularly care for the Ozpin bits; they didn't add much to the stories, but I did like the afterword, and those are the words that'll probably stick with me the most.Highlights for me: The Man Who Stared at the Sun, The Judgement of Faunus, The Two Brothers, The Story of the Seasons, The Gift of the Moon
I wrote this!
Though this book is framed in the context of children’s fairy tales, its wholesome bittersweet messages are those that will benefit people of any age. It was extremely meaningful to me and clearly incapsulates one of the most prominent messages throughout the RWBY universe, “keep moving forward.” I love the roosterteeth’s RWBY because of of its deep and healing themes for all those who have ever felt broken or hopeless in the face of darkness, wether internal or external. And as someone with for...
Nice little addition to the world of the series! I love fairytales, and they’re so central to the show that I’m really glad they expanded on that a bit more in book form. The narrator did a great job. And the little Ozpin asides added a nice little touch of world building.
I really enjoyed this. Not only for the purposes of getting to read the creation stories of Remnant, but also the full fairy tale mentioned in Before the Dawn about staring at the sun, the spoopy story with a new grimm, and especially the commentary given from Ozpin's perspective on each tale. Amazing. Would recommend to RWBY friends and anybody who likes world building.
An equal parts charming and endearing collection of tales from the world of Remnant. Not only is each story fun to read, they each have their own morals and lessons to learn from. Would highly recommend to both fans of RWBY and fairy tales alike.
If you’re an avid fan of the hit RoosterTeeth animation series: RWBY, then this book is a must-read!One of the greatest things about RWBY is the in-depth world and lore, of which we only glimpse about 20% by watching the show alone. There are trailers, World of Remnant teasers, Wiki pages, and now a few books too, all of which adds to the dynamic and creative and simply beautiful nature of the series. This book is but a single, whimsical piece of a much larger puzzle, one I am hungry to put toge...
I am a massive fan of the web-series RWBY, so when this was announced I pre-ordered it right away! The book is fully illustrated and is so stunning!This is a collection of fairy tales from the world of Remnant (the fantasy world where RWBY is set) It is told by Pro.Ozpin, after every tale there are notes from the character. Very similar format as the Tales of Beedle and Bard.There are 12 stories all together, my individual rating for each is below:• The Warrior in the Woods - 4/5• The Man Who St...
The illustrations are too good for such a boring and mediocre set of stories. Sorry I did not really care for any of them lol. But like I wasn't expecting much. Even with beautiful illustrations, this is still RWBY and I expect nothing from RWBY.
Absolutely everything I could have hoped for from a Remnant fairy tale collection. Ozpin's notes make it even more worth reading, it fits neatly into canon. There were a few editing oopsies but they would probably fix those in later editions. A must for any fan.
I enjoyed this for the most part and would have given it 4 stars if it weren’t for the layout mistake on p83 between “Story of the Seasons” and “The Girl in the Tower.” Because this is essentially an art book, with every page heavily designed and illustrated, this sort of thing matters, especially when the tail end of notes from the previous story end up smooshed in before the beginning of a new story after a full page of art. The text could have been edited or formatted a little differently, bu...
I loved this! The fairy tales help flesh out the world we see in RWBY and I loved how it captured the tone and voice of the story based on which character or group it was being told by. The last line of “The Girl in the Tower” is both chilling and heartbreaking in the absolute best way possible.
Really neat art and stories, and lots of little nods to things that have happened in the show, as well as a few tidbits that hint at things to come. The notes from Ozpin are good at selling the idea that this is a book you would find in Remnant - references in the notes to in-universe books, films, and culture lend it an air of authenticity. Only complaints are some editing/spelling errors in the physical copy.
These are beautiful fables from Remnant, the world of RWBY. There are a few stories that may not make sense to people who don't watch the show--for instance, one might not understand a couple of stories without knowing what "Faunus" means--but the book as a whole is worth reading on its own merits. It's beautiful, and the morals are worthy.
Very whimsical and fun. A great companion for anyone who's a fan of the show! The author did an amazing job capturing that fantastical and legendary feel from fairytales with the moral/lesson woven throughout the fable. I especially enjoyed Ozpin's notes after each story and I liked how some stories were "recorded" by characters in the show like Glinda Goodwitch, Qrow and even professor Oobleck

An excellent collection of short stories / fables. Beautifully written by E.C.Myers and exquisitely illustrated by Violet Tobacco. You do not have to be a fan of the RWBY universe to enjoy these stories but knowledge of the series would enhance the experience.
