We Shall Be Monsters is what, the fifth Frankenstein-inspired book I’ve read in the past year or two?

Book Review: Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr
The whole world needs to know how much I despise this book.
Book Review: Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
There’s not one big thing that makes this story of a young woman who can summon ghosts a good book. It’s a lot of little things.
Book Review: Babel by R.F. Kuang
After reading Babel, my short assessment is that it’s a good book, but it’s not a great book.
Book Review: Projections by S.E. Porter
Projections is too long. And the weird thing is, every scene does serve to either reveal something about the characters or advance the story in some way, but it still feels like it drags on.
Book Review: Godkiller by Hannah Kaner
Godkiller by Hannah Kaner scratched my epic fantasy itch while sticking to a more manageable page count, and giving me a more diverse cast of characters than I ever got back in the 90s and early 00s.
Book Review: New Suns 2, Edited by Nisi Shawl
New Suns 2 is the follow-up to New Suns, both books being collections of speculative fiction by authors of color.
Book Review: The Fire Opal Mechanism by Fran Wilde
The problem with this book is the problem that many Tordotcom novellas have: it is too. dang. short. Everything feels rushed.

I’m not going to talk a lot about the details of this book, because that would involve spoiling certain things about the first book, and I’d really like you to consider reading that if you haven’t already.
Book Review: Ascendance of a Bookworm, Part 1, Vol 1 by Miya Kazuki
I chose this book for a very specific book bingo related reason, and if not for that, I would have DNFed it after the first few pages. I hope that this will be the worst book that I read in 2024, and that things will only get better from here.
