★ "The high-stakes plot draws on an inventive, richly worked world inspired by Hindu mythology. . . By turns epic, funny, gory, and heartbreaking, this is the complete package, easily winning a spot on the shelf next to the books of Nafiza Azad, Judy Lin, and Laini Taylor." --BCCB, starred review
"One of the most unique and intelligent books I've read in recent years. Darkly alluring, completely enthralling, and masterfully rendered--Tara Sim is an author at the top of her game." --Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
"Gripping . . . this Frankenstein-inspired story of accidental monster creation leads readers to timeless questions about true monstrosity and the responsibility of the creator for the consequences. A fantastic, magical adventure that covers a lot of ground with a large, energetic cast and a heavy infusion of fascinating and illuminating mythology." --Booklist
"Full of dark humor and darker twists, We Shall Be Monsters is not afraid to show its claws." --Margaret Owen, New York Times bestselling author of the Little Thieves and The Merciful Crow series
"[A] dark and dramatic masterpiece." --Reactor Magazine
"In this stirring testament to the bonds of siblinghood, Tara Sim spins a complex tale of guilt and grief against a vivid Indian-inspired backdrop of myths, magic, and a touch of the undead." --Traci Chee, New York Times bestselling author of A Thousand Steps Into Night
"Borrowing liberally from Hindu folklore and utilizing evocative, moody prose...Sim explores themes of systemic misogyny, superstition, and morality...deliver[ing] a twisted work of fantasy horror teeming with fascinating creatures and long-buried secrets." --Publishers Weekly
"Sim's duology opener is an artful presentation of binaries--evidence and belief, right and wrong--and the complex, gray, in-between areas. This intriguing exploration of certainty is highlighted by a nonbinary character's perceptions of duality...A dark and sinuous fantasy adventure." --Kirkus Reviews
"A captivating tale of family and legacy, set in a darkly vibrant world inspired by Indian mythology. Filled with gorgeous prose, exhilarating twists, and heart-stopping romance, We Shall Be Monsters is everything I love about the fantasy genre." --Akshaya Raman, author of The Ivory Key
"With evocative prose and captivating worldbuilding inspired by Indian mythology, We Shall Be Monsters is a dazzling, macabre tale of sisterhood, resurrection, and the weight of destiny. Readers will fall in love with the fierce, prickly Kajal (and her undead dog!)." --Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will Come a Darkness and Garden of the Cursed
