Not sure how King pulled off writing a fantasy series where the underlying premise isn't explained in earnest until the third book??? But it's nice to finally start understanding the 'why' of the series in this installment. Pretty hard to swallow King's relegation of the only female character to the margins except in scenes depicting sexual violence, though, and the overdone New York and southern accents in the audiobook really expose just how ridiculous this crew of characters King has assembled is. Regardless, still an entertaining story to while away the hours. *shrug*

pretty fun, and weird, book. same problem as previous dark tower novel in that it doesn't really feel like a complete story on its own and just one part of a larger book that you don't have access to at the moment. also the same problem as the previous one in that the disabled, black character is so much of an intense racist caricature at times that it is genuinely almost something i couldn't get past.
