absolutely GORGEOUS look into the stories the people of remnant grow up with - the additions of ozpin's commentary really added to the experience too!

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.

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

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 Stared at the Sun 3/5
• The Shallow Sea 3/5
• The Hunters Children 3/5
• The Indecisive King 4/5
• The Grimm Child 4/5
• The Judgement of the Faunus 3/5
• The Infinite Man 3/5
• The Two Brothers 3/5
• The Story of the Seasons 4/5
• The Girl in the Tower 3/5
• The Gift of the Moon 4/5
Fans of RWBY will LOVE this - Bur newcomers to the world could love this too, the book is so stunning!

Some 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
