About this listen

A storm is coming...

After their strange mission in the desert, Coco, Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi are back at Shade Academy, doing some “extracurricular” work to track down The Crown, a mysterious force that’s snatching up people with powerful semblances.

The job should be easier with Team SSSN by their side, but The Crown continues to evade them. Out of options and worried that a bigger plot is in motion, CFVY and SSSN notify Theodore, the Headmaster of Shade Academy, but Theodore has problems of his own.

Troubled by the disasters at Beacon and Haven Academies and struggling to support the flood of refugee students, Theodore declares a new initiation - including the formation of new teams to better unite the student body. Amid mounting tension at the school, CFVY and SSSN must contend with unfamiliar teammates and uneasy rivalries, all while The Crown plots their next move.

Good for Fans but...

This book is great for fans who want to get to know the characters better. My favorite parts were with Team CVFE (hope I got that right) especially Fox. The story overall is good but there are some moments like with Neptune and Sun that I wish were handled differently or expanded upon. The villans of this book left something to be desired and while I got their motivation, it all came off as meh to me. the use of Jax's symbolance was OK but I never felt on edge for the danger. it was all shoulder shrug okay stuff. unlike the first one where you had moments of oh crap and couldn't put the book down. this book did not have that.

overall if your a rwby fan like me, get this. you should enjoy it

Fantastic!

Another great RWBY story by CRWBY. I'm glad to see some lesser known characters get their time to shine.

Excellent

while there isn't as much of a call back to the main show following team rwby this book still has a very well told original story that adds more depth to the wold of remnant.

Couldn't recommend this book enough

A solid continuation of team CFVY’s adventures.

This sequel to the other RWBY novel following these characters, After The Fall, was much more engaging overall than the first one but lacked some of what I liked in the first book. In the first novel, I found the plot to be relatively uninteresting but the characters and their flashback scenes were excellent. Here, there was a bit of a larger cast so it didn’t delve as deeply into the characters as I would’ve liked and a few were made minor characters to compensate for this larger cast, but the plot itself was much more engaging and felt reminiscent to early seasons of the show as well as reminding me of an episode of Justice League Unlimited involving mind control and cage matches. Similar to the first audiobook, I found the narrator to be good at some things but wasn’t as good at things like male voices or differentiating certain voices. I’m still in for more books in this series and fans of the show would certainly like these.

overall I enjoyed the story

I wish they had multiple readers for the many different characters instead of just 1 narrator. She did a decent job withing having to try and voice many different characters. I just feel it would've been better if they had multiple narrators acting as the characters. Sort of like the audio book for "Dune". I understand hiring multiple readers can be expensive, given a example like "Dune" has 7. However I wish this audio book had 2 or 3 to help give more life and diversity to the characters in the book.
