Amazing book must read!!

Amazing ens to a sad story.

Different kind of fantasy

I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was very good.

"Those sisters, with their owl eyes, their love of the dark. Their comfort in it."

The Beast is an Animal by Peternelle van Arsdale is a unique story. Its focus and message are clear but are told in almost a fairytale sort-of-way. It introduces you to an unknown village. As you go forth reading its main message and focus seems to be about the people's fear and assumptions. What that brings forth regardless of their beliefs. It's a bit dark but inviting. It is slow paced and doesn't have much action. The way it tells its story is unique. I never felt like putting the book down. I didn't devour it but I was captured by the feeling of the forest and the village, of the main character and her journey. I would recommend this to my friends.
