Day 13 - From Shadows Ramble


Finally, the third book has arrived, and I had to restrain myself from reading it but clearly, I failed. So, I took a break from my Naruto to give the Blake edition of the RWBY anthology a read and I really enjoyed it. This volume is centred around our Faunus freedom fighter who turned from the White Fang when she felt they are no longer fighting in a way she felt comfortable with, so now this volume reflects on her friendship with the other girls in her team and who she is as a person. May contain a lot of cat themes that just make me die of joy cause it’s one of the reasons I love this so much. 

Volume 3 feat. Blake
The stories are many since it’s a collection of works from many artists and I enjoy this series for it. My personal favourites are Beacon Days by mojojoj, Friend by Sun Hiura and Break Time by Sorappane. The sad thing, there was none that I disliked in anyway, I just enjoyed them all and it made me feel like I understand Blake a lot more.

The art varies from creator to creator and I love seeing the variety, the work and love put into each story. I cannot choose a favourite or a dislike since I really appreciate the good art that everyone did in the manga. Though, I do admit I have a huge weakness for the cover since it’s purple and really cute but pleasing to look at, it would probably be one of the few books I’d like to show off on my bookshelf if I had the space.

Blake is our main girl and what’s not to love about our favourite feline Faunus? Simple, she is just too loveable for me and I felt like I got to know her better despite seeing different interpretations of her through others, but she still remained the same silent and mysterious lass with a sweet and caring side who only wants to find a place to fit in. I feel like I can relate to her and hence why she is a favourite character of mine.

Blake and Yang are personally my favourite characters out of Team RWBY, and they always save the best for last, so I plan to buy them as soon as they come out, well just Yang now. I do hope they do Team JNPR and the other teams because it be such a delight to own them, especially JNPR because I love the whole team.

Compared to volume 2, which I have reviewed before, I give this one a 4 out of 5 bookmarks since I am a sucker for not just a cat-girl but Blake, a character I can somewhat relate to and enjoy seeing her progress from the guarded person to someone bonding and coming out of her shell while making friends and going on adventures with them. This was a great read for me, and I hope others give it a read too.
