Beast by Rachel Frank

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Less than Three in exchange for an honest review.

This is a short story of roughly 44 pages in length that involves a dragon, a knight, a witch, and evil. An abusive evil bastard. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

The story, even after it opened the way I expected (a witch being left out for a dragon to find), was not really at all what I thought it would be. Though why I thought it'd be any particular story, I'm not sure.

Other than what I've already stated, that the story involves a dragon, witch, knight, evil bastard, I can't really say anything more. For, you see, there are several twits to the story. Most of which keep me from elaborating on the content.

So: Well written story that was, to a certain extent, a lot more 'horrible and abusive' than I expected, but still an entertaining story (yeah, I know, horrible and abusive is not entertaining).

I'll have to keep an eye on what else this author puts out - it's not every day you read a competently written short story, turn to the afterward (wait, I think it was the 'about the author' section) and see something about how the author still lives with her parents - as she has not yet even entered high school (I might be mis-remembering how exactly that was worded).

Rating: 3.66
