I was hoping Even the Worm Will Turn would expand on the intriguing concepts introduced in The Worm and His Kings. Instead, Piper heaps on additional concepts and ideas that ultimately undercut the character driven cosmic horror of the first book in the trilogy. I will be checking out the series’ third instalment later this year, in the hopes that Turn will be given meaning and significance retroactively. For the time being, though, the book is intriguing and mysterious, but not much else.
