FIRST PART OF THE REVIEW SPOILER-FREE Let me start by saying... wow. I thought After the Fall was a bit mediocre, certainly not bad and an enjoyable read, but dragged down by its numerous flaws.

3.5 stars I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first!!! I think the new environments and the characters made the story a lot more interesting, and I don't think the intrigue faded once while reading it.

Quotes

Praise for After the Fall (RWBY, Book 1): "Engaging... Myers does a terrific job of explaining this world to newcomers and, amid the nonstop action and thrilling battle scenes, also manages to portray the four friends three-dimensionally through witty dialogue and flashbacks. Even secondary characters have complexity, making the world feel immersive and present... This spinoff is funny and thrilling from beginning to end, and thoughtful writing gives the action added depth and emotional impact." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
