Reception
Beast Made of Night received positive reviews for its world building and themes. A review from NPR lauded the novel as the beginning of a great saga. In a starred review, Kirkus praised it as a story that "moves beyond the boom-bang, boring theology of so many fantasies—and, in the process, creates, almost griotlike, a paean to an emerging black legend".
