Customer Reviews
A gorgeous chaotic anthology
I'm going to start by saying Beastings is a good anthology. The stories as they stand individually and separately are very well written, colorful, and humorous. It is the fact that series is in full color that makes this anthology shine. The artwork is truly a sight to behold with rich details of both the cast, and how their species characteristics are shown off. No corners were cut when it came to the "beasts" of Beaststrings. I cannot stress enough how gorgeous the characters are from beginning to end. Say what you want about the plot, and trust me I will, the eye-candy alone makes this a worthwhile book to read. The humor is great as well but that is more subjective.
It is when the individual stories try to come together to tell an overarching narrative that Beastrings as a whole falls apart as it's spread too thin among its large cast and attempt at an interconnected story.
