Becstar is star-hopping mercenary-gone-full time-gambler light-years away from Earth. Leaving her old life behind with the help of her magical luck dagger and her friend Sally Soolin, Becstar ekes out a living under the nefarious Shadow Syndicate's radar. But when a mysterious girl appears with grim news and an urgent quest with the universe fate hangs, she has no choice but to join and regret it immediately.
I was excited about this graphic novel. It, sadly, did not meet my excitement level. The plot was confusing, I had to keep flipping between pages to understand what was happening. It felt all over the place, and I feel like the story would have been done better if the plot was better planned out.
The art style, however, was phenomenal. I absolutely love this artist's style of character drawings.
This graphic novel just fell flat because the plot and worldbuilding were too jumbled for my liking, however, that does not mean someone else will like it!

Thank you to Ollie for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I read Beast over the span of a while, but honestly I liked it that way! I read it in the middle of a move, so some of the plot points did escape from my mind, but overall, it was a great book!
One thing I really love is that all 3 POVs are so easy to tell apart. The way Ollie wrote them all, you never get them confused.
As for the characters themselves, Damia has to be my favourite. She’s kickass and amazing at sword fighting skills, aka my favourite type of character.
Overall, Beast is easily a 4 star read for me. Very enjoyable!!
