Conceptually, We Shall Be Monsters is everything  I could want from a Frankenstein retelling, especially when it's a Mythology based creature feature mash-up. I think I just clashed with the pacing? Though Sim's writing is smooth and easily accessible, I found my mind wandering often. The first HALF of this book was slow going. The story picks up, and yet the ending fell flat for me. And that may be more because I didn't pay attention to this being a series and had different expectations. 
Overall, it was a slow but solid start to a series. 
P.S. Kutaa is my fav.
