After the Fall by E.C. Myers
5.0
5 Stars- I think it is important to mention that this book does contain spoilers to RWBY- which is an amazing show that I thoroughly enjoy. Seriously if you haven't seen this show I totally recommend you check it out. It's got kids with awesome weapons fighting monsters, oh and did I mention they have powers- cuz they do. Alright on to the book review.
It just so happens that my top 3 characters in RWBY are: Ruby, Nora, and Velvet (& my sister absolutely loves Coco- & how could you not?). So I was thrilled to see a book focusing on team CFVY (Coffee- which is such a great name btw). I already adored Velvet and Coco but was excited to get to know more about their teammates: Yatsuhashi & Fox.
Yatsuhashi seems like this big, intimidating guy when he's really just a big teddy bear. He's strong and powerful, but he's also very caring and meditative. Yatsu is reluctant to use his semblance and often worries about his teammates, especially Velvet. I wholeheartedly ship Velvet & Yatsu they are so cute together and I am so for it.
If I'm being honest, when I started this book I didn't even remember Fox was on team CFVY, but he seriously became my favorite character in this book. He was absolutely hilarious, his semblance is freaking awesome, he's an amazing fighter, and did I mention he's blind-man this kid is impressive. I also loved that we got to know each of their backstories more throughout this book.
I thought it was really cool that we got to see what was going on with team CFVY in the present story, as well as, flashbacks to their time at Beacon Academy. By doing this we got to know the characters better and see the dynamic between this amazing team. For some reason, in the show, it never clicked for me that team CFVY was a year older than team RWBY and I loved seeing the interactions between these two teams it definitely made my fangirl heart happy.
I really enjoyed the plot of this novel. Team CFVY is answering a distress signal out in the desert of Remnant in a town called Vacuo. True to RWBY fashion this story contained a lot of action, amusement, and of course Grimm. I completely recommend this book to anyone and everyone- although you should probably watch the show first. RWBY fans will be pleasantly entertained and happy to know what team CFVY has been up to while away from Beacon. I am very happy that I have this novel in my collection and am excited to see that this is going to be a series. I will definitely be continuing on once the next book comes out.
Happy Reading my Friends.
