I strongly prefer Ward, but it is pretty different.
Writing style remains the same, but the themes and focus is pretty different. Wards is more thoughtful in a lot of ways, but it means the pacing is slower and more introspective.
While Worm, keeping spoilers light here, kinda has the Taylor avoid introspection as much as possible, with several stories beats showing how unreliable she is at understanding her own motivations.





You aren’t wrong for liking what you like. But I love subtext, make me riddle out the meaning.
I know this isn’t all ‘non-subtext’ works, but I hate when theres a beautiful passage that neatly implies what a character is thinking and feeling indirectly… Followed by them just blithely stating their current emotional state out loud. Hits like a sack of bricks every time.
