About this listen

A storm is coming...

After their strange mission in the desert, Coco, Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi are back at Shade Academy, doing some “extracurricular” work to track down The Crown, a mysterious force that’s snatching up people with powerful semblances.

The job should be easier with Team SSSN by their side, but The Crown continues to evade them. Out of options and worried that a bigger plot is in motion, CFVY and SSSN notify Theodore, the Headmaster of Shade Academy, but Theodore has problems of his own.

Troubled by the disasters at Beacon and Haven Academies and struggling to support the flood of refugee students, Theodore declares a new initiation - including the formation of new teams to better unite the student body. Amid mounting tension at the school, CFVY and SSSN must contend with unfamiliar teammates and uneasy rivalries, all while The Crown plots their next move.

A great story set in the RWBY universe. Very much enjoyed. I'd usually just submit a star review, but it seems there's a word count now.

Written to perfection once again by E.C. Myers, Before the Dawn kept me interested and engaged throughout!

A fantastic addition to the RWBY Universe

The greater focus on caffeinated fuelled action, expansion of lore and slightly better character development makes this a better read that's it's predecessor. However, I still wouldn't say this is an essential read due to its predictable plot, cliche themes and awkward character interactions (which is strange given the fact the author is an accomplished writer). Though I was somewhat more satisfied by the end of book 2, there was still a lot left to be desired (I can say the same for RWBY in general). Even for hardcore RWBY fans, I would say wait for a deal or get it with a free Audible token, everyone else I'd say avoid.
