It’s weird. The author said this is set in the same universe as Dawn Of The Arcana, but The Beast’s King feels rushed. Am I supposed to read Dawn of the Arcana to understand what’s going on in the world or did the author just do a very poor job at it?
All I know is there’s humans and beast people. For some reason humans control everything and beast people are slaves. But why? How did the humans become all powerful when beast people have superpowers, or at least some of them do. Why do they just go along with it? Does it really matter? Probably not, but your universe doesn’t make sense.
And because of not understanding the setting of the story everything else just seems pointless. I could care less the the main characters motivation. But why does she need to pretend to be a guy? I’m not sure it’s worth reading more just to find out why she needs to be a guy to avenge her brother.
