Do you believe in the existence of supernatural beings?

The Beast Hunters by Christer Lende explores the story of what happens when a monster brutally kills Ara’s parents, and she is saved by two beast hunters. Becoming their apprentice, she discovers serums, secret bestiary knowledge, and remarkable abilities—all to save unsuspecting souls from the same fate her parents suffered. But terrifying creatures lurk everywhere, and Ara must master the art of beast hunting quickly if she is to uncover the elusive creature plaguing the village of Cornstead.

The plot of the book is quite interesting and as we explore the world of various beasts through the eyes if our beast hunters, the author continuously hints at a beast greater than all the ones they encounter through their journey. The storytelling is vivid and visual and there are times when you can visualize the scenes as they unfold. The descriptions of the beasts are graphic, and I loved how they are introduced into the plot and become a part of it. The language is easy to comprehend, and it helps that the author uses the story teeing to clarify any doubts that might lurk in the readers’ minds. The climax is well planned and well executed. Bringing the story to a natural close and leaving the just a wee bit hanging to continue the story later.

The character sketches are detailed, and I loved the way Topper’s character plays out. I, like Ara, was confused by the mystery surrounding the Beast Hunters and I was happy with the surprise that comes up in the latter part of the story. Another interesting aspect for me is that of Khendric, and I would love to see his origin story come up sometime later in the series.

Overall, a book I would recommend if you like reading about otherworldly creatures. The book scores a 4.63/5 for me.
