Reception

Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed Star Beast for Arcane magazine, rating it an 8 out of 10 overall.{{cite journal|last=Kibblewhite|first=Gideon|date=May 1996|title=The Great Library|journal=Arcane|publisher=Future Publishing|issue=6|pages=80–81}} Kibblewhite comments that "the world of the humans is paler and less interesting; so much so that it seems merely a vehicle for the intrigue from which the two heroes must escape. This is a shame, because this is why, for me, the book falls slightly short of its possibilities."
