![]() ![]() So let’s get down to the review to end all Worm reviews. Sadly, though, that’s not how I read, and I don’t trust myself to stay invested with 168 hours in between each new chapter. Optimistically, I would read the serial as it was meant to be read: one chapter a week. I didn’t stop reading Worm because I didn’t like it, just because it was too long. I felt like I was keeping my writing life on hold just so that I could power through the last few chapters of Worm. ![]() I’d forgotten what other books were like! Worm was a full year of one writing style, one premise, one genre. ![]() I’m not sure how else to describe it: I’ve since started reading Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, and the writing is so charming and the descriptions so entertaining that I really felt like I was taking a breath of fresh air. Both of these things give writers a sense of their trade, and the fact of the matter is that after a full year of reading Worm, I felt choked. You see, when it comes to writing, two things are of the utmost importance: writing and reading. I know it was my New Year’s Resolution to finish the series, but it wasn’t that I couldn’t keep my resolution, or that I didn’t want to anymore. Well, let me verify your suspicions: I’m stopping here. If you’re familiar with Worm, you may think it odd that I put the title “Final” Worm review over a review ending at chapter 29.6. ![]()
