What an outstanding backstory

I already liked Roman and Neo, but this gave me so much of a deeper appreciation for them now, and now I feel really bad for Neo

Ooh Baby a Triple

Myers has done it again, with all three RWBY novels being absolutely amazing rides.

Whatever your thoughts on Neo and Roman prior to the novel, the opinions will become incredibly more positive if you were to listen to or read the story. What were originally characters only beloved for their looks and personas are made far more in depth by going into their histories. While I was more excited to learn about Neo going into the novel, Roman's side certainly captivated me more, though I can't say I'm complaining about either side at all. Neo's inner monologue works fantastically well in written format, and EC Myers did amazingly at capturing Roman's personality. There's a slight loose end between the novel's ending and a situation in the show proper, though not enough of one to detract from the quality of the story, or to make me think it can't be reasonably filled in through context clues or CRWBY statements. With everything that's happening in present-day RWBY show proper, this story was a bit refreshing with its more down to earth feel, which isn't to criticize present-day show proper at all since it's the best it's been thus far, it's just that it's nice to have a change.

I still feel like the decision to put Neo's origins into a novel is odd. Everyone who watches the show would agree she's the biggest mystery, but not everyone who watches consumes the side content like the novels. I don't know that the show will go over anything in the novel, seeing as how Myers wasn't allowed to do other things in the previous novels (i.e. a good luck Semblance) since the show was going to cover it. As much as I loved the story, that's a slight annoyance and worry I have, though not enough to detract from the overall quality as is.

Neo and Roman: Partners in Crime

A fantastic story about the rise of Vale's biggest crime lord, and his partner.

Incredible origin story

I’ve been getting into rwby and I love how this flushed out some of the best villains in the early series. I can’t recommend it enough.

omg

I love it! it's so awesome to finally know their back story. This answered a number of questions I've had over the years.

neopolitan

best character ever in the rwby series. seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen there.

Made me love them even more!!

Roman and Neo are an amazing team! it's beautiful to see how it all started

Actually good.

it's hard to believe this book is from the same show. smartly written and actually respectful to handicap. little short.
hopefully this gets a part 2

The best of the series

This book is by far my favorite from the series. The writing had improved so much and the storytelling views switching between the main characters was done excellently.

if you're a fan of RWBY, especially volume 1-3 RWBY, you want to read this book.

enjoyed it while bedridden

it's a fun read if you're interested in the world of RWBY, if you're not a lot of things will go over your head.
