5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Action!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014

Fortunate was I to be able to download a free copy of the book during this special promotion! As soon as it was registered in my Kindle, I set to reading -- thinking I would read awhile and then put it down until I had a few spare minutes to pick it up again... WRONG!

I began reading and didn't stop until I'd devoured the entire volume! (I'm still licking my fingers!) Dishes lie unwashed in the sink, the dustcloth sits on its shelf still in the broomcloset and the laundry (while loaded into the washer) awaits soap and button-pushing to start it while here I remain -- on my third cup of coffee -- still digesting all that I read...

In "The City of Worms", all of the characters we came to know in the first volume now show their true colors and we are amazed that we could have been that wrong about them all this time! Good and Evil change places as we are left with our senses spinning. Always challenging and never boring, they whisk themselves from reality to reality easier than we mere mortals go from room to room. This all has the effect of keeping the reader engaged and excited -- so wanting to know what lies 'round the next twist of the plot -- that I fear, like me, others will not be able to glance away until all of the plot has been played out in its entirety.

Other reviewers have voiced confusion over the many changes in levels and lands of the plot. I, however, felt no such disorientation and feel that each shift was well identified -- more than sufficiently to ready my mind for the action therein. (Perhaps I am just naturally inclined toward dualism -- and "more"-ism?)

The "Everville" series has everything one looks for in fantasy fiction: Wonderous settings; fantastic, yet believable, characters with whom one feels certain empathy; magic galore and more than enough action to satisfy even the most action-hungry pallet

I recommend it and loved it. Need I say more? I think not...

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative and Magical
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013

The second installment in the Everville saga, " The City of Worms" is as mesmerizing and imaginative as Roy Huff's first book, The First Pillar." In this sequel Anika and Owen's friend Dante lies in a coma in the earthly realm, his fate linked to magical artifacts that have to be destroyed, while in Everville the traitorous Oldrik and his three accomplices have escaped their captors to join forces with the evil darkness that lurks in the Other In Between. With them go Fron secrets that could make Them more powerful than anyone could imagine. But this is only the start of an adventure that brings a clash of armies as the dark horde seeks power, and a summons to Owen to help unravel a secret at the Second Pillar that could mean life or death for the realms. Will Dante recover? Will the Keeper, Owen Sage and his friends be able to save both dimensions from evil's onslaught? The answers to these questions and more lie at the heart of a novel that brings heightened tension and anticipation as the characters battle new threats.

As well as encountering familiar creatures in this story, Roy Huff brings to life new ones who are just as original and fascinating as the short, thick, hairless Fron and the furry headed marmooks. The Ubaloo are twelve inch, muscular warriors who will fight alongside a Giant army lead by the brave Bardok, and General Varrick and his Frons face a new enemy, the dark winged Fwalyn their teeth and claws eager to shred flesh.

In this novel the characters' personalities evolve as they face new challenges. Owen Sage is not only smart and brave, but also shows humility and wisdom in his decisions. Anika gravitates between apprehension and depression while Dante's hospitalized, and shows little compassion or thought for Zee's feelings when she plans a party for the recovered patient. A confused Cleophas suffering from bouts of memory loss is determined to fight the evil invading the earthly realm even after he courageously hands over his leadership to Avery. In Everville the fortitude and determination of the Fron, the Keeper, and two of the repentant traitors-Elmer and Calvin -are unforgettable as are their nemeses; the arrogant, conniving, abusive Oldrik, the contemptible, proud Jacob, and the power-hungry turncoat Mallory.

Well-written, the plot steadily moves from one conflict to the next as it explores values like friendship, self-sacrifice, and commitment amidst the chaos and violence that besets the realms where good and evil coexist. I enjoyed this novel as much as the first, and look forward to reading about further exploits

2.0 out of 5 stars Still needs more work

In City of Worms, the second installment of the Everville series, an epic battle over ownership of the element has begun. Them seeks to subvert the worms and use the power they channel to take control of Everville. The Keeper gathers the other Keepers and different races in the 8 related dimensions around Everville to stop Them. Once again, Owen must work, both with Everville and his friends in the Echo Club, to help save Everville.

In this second book, Huff uses the third person narrative, so the awkwardness of the first-person doesn't arise anymore. However, it still feels as if he is rushing people through the story. The pacing is often awkward, as is the phrasing (especially when he talks about Them) and there are still a gazillion info dumps that don't fit into the flow of the narrative.

The relationship between Owen and his friends feel rather simplistic at times, and it doesn't feel as if there is any proper character development. Each person does and says the things he (or she) is supposed to, but it feels very shallow. I guess it's still a lot of "telling" in the narrative - rather than showing the actions and the deliberations behind those actions, Huff often just tells you why they did it.

The final test at the Second Pillar was just - what? Felt like Huff needed there to be some kind of moral teaching (after all, each pillar has a moral lesson) but I felt it could have been better thought out.

Good strong characters with a nice way if putting across a very moral message but with interesting characters so you don't feel 'lectured'. Makes you want to be a better person yourself.

If you told me Mr Huff was 15 years old I would believe it. I could not finish it as reading it made my teeth ache.
