Thanks to Nancy Paulsen Books for the free copy of this book.
- WE SHALL BE MONSTERS is Frankenstein by way of Indian mythology, and I couldn’t get enough of it.
- The characters are all multilayered and morally gray, each chasing their own goals and giving us a few good plot twists along the way.
- I enjoyed how the further we got into the the book the more detailed the world of the story became. More information and backstory was unspooled at just the right rate, and the ending left me excited for the sequel.
