Without giving too much away, at one point she covers her entire body with a swarm of insects and then ducks down, so that when opponents shoot the swarm’s "chest" thinking it’s her, she can convince them that she has taken on a new bulletproof "form"-intimidating the heck out of opponents. The creativity and action in those scenes is a thrill-ride worth getting a ticket for. Over and over, Taylor proves the same thing about herself as she goes out to be a cape-she uses ingenuity and small ideas to make big victories. Bees and wasps might be everywhere, but their venom can kill. Black widow spiders, which Taylor uses to make a super strong costume out of their durable silk, are also known for the potent poison. While bugs seem small and irrelevant, they can hold a lot of power. Overlooked, like her bugs, everyone bigger tries to step on her-Taylor’s bugs are metaphorically a lot like her. She refuses to use her powers to defend herself, working on the assumption that a real hero wouldn’t hurt ordinary people, and lashing out in anger at the bullies will just make her as bad as them. Taylor’s peers treat her this way at school, as she becomes the target of bullying. However, a "worm" is also a groveling, abject, or contemptible person. As an inexperienced rookie, we get to share in everything with Taylor as it emerges. A more traditional, established hero character, along the lines of Superman, Batman or the Avengers, would be able to show noble battles, but not this nitty-gritty level of detail. Her ability to sense what her bugs see and hear gives a broad view of her surroundings and other characters, and her observational skills help to show all the details. As she meets and is introduced to more heroes and villains, we learn along with her how rich the world of the capes is. As a new cape, with bizarre powers, Taylor has a lot in common with the creatures she associates with-she’s unknown, and so her perspective on her reality makes the story more accessible for readers.
Some post their adventures online and make money off the advertising, like a good Youtube channel.īugs are often considered lowly, overlooked animals. There are mercenaries for hire, entertainers and healers. Some are government operatives, others have corporate sponsors. It makes even more sense as the story fleshes out the mythology of this reality, as the every-day functionality of the capes is explored. In a world where "capes" are increasingly prolific, with every major city having several teams, it’s natural for Taylor to consider becoming a superhero once she trains herself to use her powers. She can sense and hear what they do, communicate with them, and give them orders. In the superhero fiction "Worm," the protagonist, Taylor, is a girl with the odd power of being able to control worms, insects, arachnids and other simple lifeforms. A "worm" can be defined as any of numerous small creeping animals with more or less slender, elongated bodies, and without limbs or with very short ones, including individuals of widely differing kinds, as earthworms, tapeworms, insect larvae, and adult forms of some insects.
I’m also reviewing it because there’s even more going on than other reviewers have mentioned, and even my review will only scratch the surface of the story’s depth.įirst, the title is aptly chosen. And it’s worthy of its popularity and praise.

Well, we’re home safe and healthy from the hospital, and I read the entire series thus far. I checked out WFG and decided on Worm to pass the time-because it didn’t need a new review and I wouldn’t have to give it in-depth thought. Well, this March I’ve spent a lot of time in the hospital as my wife gave birth to twins, and I needed a distraction whenever there was a quiet moment. "Worm" has received a lot of praise, so I’ve actually been avoiding reading it. I very rarely review "popular" stories lately-I tend to try to write a review for authors who haven’t received one lately in order to balance things out a bit.
