Reviews and Comments
Song of the Beast is a mesmerizing stand alone book. The beginning felt a bit disjointed, but quickly finds its footing.
Song of the Beast is a stand-alone fantasy book and it's not connected to Carol Berg's other fantasy books. In my opinion Song of the Beast is a pretty good book, but it's not as good as The Books of the Rai-Kirah or The Bridge of D'Arnath. If you enjoy reading good fantasy stories, you should read this book.
