The Waste Lands is another example of King's spectacularity, separated into two clear parts, it manages to captivate the reader from the beginning, posing more enigmas of Ronald's world and leaving me with a very marked internal thought of Ronald "But deep down, he doesn't would know if he could really keep his promise". The second half once again introduces us to new and great characters with a completely incredible ending that leaves us wanting to continue on this journey towards the Dark Tower.

Although a little slow moving, things overall get more interesting than in the previous book in the series. I still haven't quite got to grips with the story or setting(s), but I'm slowly getting there - meaning I'm getting more ready to accept it for what it is and less inclined to look for a "rational" explanation of where/when/how.

Smart move, btw, to end it with a cliffhanger. ;)
