maybe something shorter next time_Pact_ is what happened after the fantastically triumphant _Worm_. In it, we see a young adult plunged into a world of magic, a world of ancient pacts and karmic debt, of oaths enforced by a universal device. Demons and goblins, angels, ghosts and fairies all work within simple laws, and practitioners stake out their claims on the world using them.I really love _Pact_'s premise. This is one of the most intriguing, most intricate bits of urban fantasy world building. I didn't know this at the
It would be impossible for Pact to escape comparisons to Worm, so Ill get them out of the way. I started this immediately upon finishing Worm, and I found it to have the same creativity and relentlessness as Worm, the same complex moral questions, and the same level of fully realized characters. Its on a smaller scale, but thats to its credit- the story is tied to the immediacy of place and self and family. Among Wildbow fans, this is probably the runt. But dont let fan opinion dissuade you from
Pacts an interesting serial. Its generally viewed as the disappointing stepchild of Wildbows works. This is not without reason as Pact does suffer from a number of flaws. However, it is, perhaps, an unfair summary. Taking everything into account, I generally think Pact is Wildbows most interesting work. I would rate Pact as my overall favorite of Wildbows body of work.Even by the halfway point of reading Pact for the first time, it became clear that theres a certain Wildbow Model that runs
Kind of like Worm, but not as good, unfortunately. In fact, I probably wouldn't recommend reading it.The writing is better than the writing in Worm from a purely technical perspective, but the story isn't very good. It has the fatal flaw that the rules of the universe feel arbitrary. When characters in Worm solved problems, I would sometimes find myself thinking "Wow, that's clever!", and when new powers were introduced I would immediately try to work out their implications. When characters in
Magic and the supernatural is real and the protagonist inherits his grandmother's magical knowledge, but also her enemies, with only his female mirror image as an ally. This is much faster paced than Worm and has kind of an unrelenting tension. If you read this one I recommend maybe a chapter or two a day.
It took me just 16 days short of a year, by I finally finished the 950,000 word beast and it was definitely a wild ride.
