King relies on some well worn tropes (and they don’t always land) but he knows how to tell a compelling story.

okay so overall I liked it better than The Shining but it definitely didn’t have the same level of suspense. I’ve read cheesy, high fae fantasy with better twists and climactic point tbh.
in Doctor Sleep’s defence, I absolutely loved Abra and the other hero characters were all pretty likeable while the antagonists were disgusting and I wanted them gone. so characters were great but the plot just wasn’t really there for me.
