Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King

mike_nz's review against another edition

5.0

What a fantastic book! I was hooked right from page 1 and just couldn't put it down. Up until now The Drawing of the Three was my favourite Dark Tower novel but Wolves feels more rounded, more complete somehow. And that ending! What the hell? How? What?

One of Kings very best.

This book absolutely gets the ka-tet back on track of the quest for the Dark Tower. It is a bit of a side mission, helping the town escape the clutches of the terrible wolves, but there is much connection to the original quest that it doesn't feel out of place. One of my favorites of the series overall.

while decidedly better than #4 this one was still ~200 pages over written and the pacing wasn’t great. the climactic finale made it all worth it though, and it sets up books #6 and #7 in ways that i am quite excited for.
