Review:
I haven't seen or read anything related to RWBY before, so I went
into this book with no idea what to expect.
The book starts with a little bang, and then it goes into an
introduction for each character. They all get a chapter to
themselves, where we find out what brought them to this point, to
this school and working together. In the latter half of the volume,
it brings them all back together, where we get some glimpses of their
friendships and how they're growing closer, and a competition with
another group at their school, and finally where they all work
together to defeat a creature attacking.
Knowing so little about this series, this was an interesting volume.
But it also felt rather one-dimensional. The enemy at the end, the
other groups they meet with, none of that left an impression on me.
Even the chapters where we met the four characters on their own felt
too rushed and not expanded enough. I didn't really feel like I knew
the characters very well by the end, only had a base understanding of
their characters.
It was honestly a little disappointing, though I'm curious about
seeing the original or reading another interpretation, as it definitely felt like there could be more.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
