The Worm and His Kings manages to be both an intriguing, Lovecraftian story with plenty of darkness, strange creatures, and a wealth of lore, but also a very human piece touching on important themes and issues without letting them disrupt the story.
I felt Monique’s frustration with so many things, followed the interactions and relationships as they developed, and found her to be a true hero by the end.
And that ending… trust me when I tell you you won’t see THAT one coming.
Highly Recommended.
