Reception

Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed ''Star Beast'' for ''Arcane'' magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall. Kibblewhite comments that "the world of the humans is paler and less interesting; so much so that it seems merely a vehicle for the intrigue from which the two heroes must escape. This is a shame, because this is why, for me, the book falls slightly short of its possibilities."
