review 1: City of Worms is the second book in the Everville series. Protagonist, Owen Sage, a college student, is once again battling the forces of evil. The antagonistic Them are trying to invade the idyllic world of Everville. It's up to Owen and his friends to stop the Them. The story oscillates between Everville, The Earthly Realm, and The Other In Between lands. There is an impressive cast of characters from such creatures known as Marmooks, From, and Ubaloo. Some readers may find it challenging to keep it all straight in their heads, especially if they haven't read the first book.The biggest strength of this book is the descriptive writing, which allows readers to visualize the action. It is particularly good in the description of the City of Worms and the final battle scene. ... moreBut be prepared to feel the need to purchase the next installment in the series, as the cliffhanger at the end leaves the reader wanting more.If you are a fan of YA fantasy, this imaginative story is probably one you will enjoy.
review 2: I like the story line author Huff has going in these books. he did do in this book what I thought should have been done in the first. Which is give us a look at Them. Not everything, but a glimpse into motivations other than the basic good/evil thing.That said, the story got weighed down with over-complicated explanations of the layers of his multiverse. One Character, Cleophus, in an advanced stage of dementia is explaining it to the Nine. One character makes an apt observation with the line "This is getting confusing." Couldn't have said it better myself.Owen and The Keeper's battle with the forces of Them is interesting nevertheless. The ending was too simplistic for the set-up as Owen finds the second Pillar of Truth.Promising. less
