This book was just not for me, which is disappointing because I've heard so many good things about it! First let me say that I enjoyed the prose and I really liked the monster/demon worms in the book; They were gross and scary.
Here are the things that didnt work for me: I didn't connect with the characters. I was expecting a snake cult book with glossolalia. The setup for the story was a snake cult, but then it evolved into something much greater and unexpected. The book had nothing much to do with the snake cult. This is probably just an issue with how the book is sold in the synopsis and its effect on my expectations for the book. The prose were good, with the exception of one bit of repetitive imagery: blood in and on the lips/mouth. It got distracting after a while and pulled me out of the story.
Maybe these things wont bother you as they did me, so give it a try if you want to read about an apocalyptic scenario with worm demons that live beneath us.
