King says this wasn't the best ending... but it was the just the way the story ended. I think he's right on both counts...
He also says it was more about the journey then the destination. This was a journey for sure, and it was one worth taking.
A worthy end to a worthy summer reading project.

unfortunately this final (?) installment didn't make me forget how much i didn't like 4, 5, and 6... but was still a good ending.

I enjoyed all the books in this series except the wizard and glass, but the ending felt a bit incomplete to me. I wanted more of an ending for Roland about what actually happens to him in the dark tower and also a ending for Patrick. Other than those complaints this series was a great read and i will miss it.

I haven’t left a review for any books in the series, so it seems fitting to do so now that I have come to the end. Or the beginning again.
The first book, The Gunslinger, was something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was definitely written in the same fashion that I love from King but the story seemed empty and wanting. However, I didn’t judge the series by the first book thankya big big, and what followed was an incredible journey unlike anything I’ve read and each character became part of me, like my own Detta Walkers.
My only complaint from the final book was the departure of Susannah from mid world. I understand that all of the characters needed their end, for the story to reach the tower, however, Eddie, Jake and even Oy went out as true gunslingers. Protecting their ka-tet, fighting for the good. But Susannah just… left. She had an out and she took it. I wish her journey ended more fearlessly, like the gunslinger she had become.
I would have been happy with the final poignant scene of the door slamming behind Roland as he entered the tower. I heard that slam. It was powerful. But the heartbreaking yet ingenious twist of what Roland found at the top of the tower has left me in awe of Sai King. To masterfully take the story full circle, back to the desert, back to the man in black. But hadn’t he been telling us Constant Readers this the whole time? Because “Ka was like a wheel, its one purpose to turn, and in the end it always came back to the place where it had started.”
Brilliant.

I absolutely loved the majority of the book. I loved how King integrated themselves, the journey and I was very invested in the story. But the ending… it ended? Just very disappointing.
