Book Review: At One's Beast
by A.E. Albert

Author: Rachel Barnard
Genre: Fantasy/Romance/Young Adult

Set in a fairy tale forest, At One's Beast tells the story of Alcina and a ferocious beast threatening the small village of Frey.  Through a cruel twist of fate, she is chosen as the yearly sacrifice. But the town of Frey's gift to this monster alters Alcina's life forever.  

At One's Beast is about seeing people as they truly are.  Or perhaps, more importantly, choosing to see past the physical and judging people by condition of their heart.  

This book is beautifully written.  I was very impressed with Barnard's style and prose.  The author is at times almost poetic, giving the story an otherworldly atmosphere. However, this doesn't effect the easy flow of words, making it an wonderful read.

The book contains the obvious conflict between the village of Frey and the Beast.  Yet, there is also the personal conflict brewing between the main characters.  The author takes you into their minds so the reader can partake in their journey through self realization.
