And so ends my journey to the Dark Tower

Absolute incredible, this whole series blew my mind. The fact I've now finished I don't know what to do....this will be with me for a long long time. This final book will break you in all the right ways. I won't say anymore...just go read them all immediately.

Awestruck by just how impressively this one shits the bed.

The “book” in an eye-watering, microscopic font (keeping the unforgivable page count down?), which adds to the wall-to-wall sense of garbled plot contrivances, undercooked narrative swerves and complete abandonment of the characters we mostly embraced in the first five-and-a-half or so books.

About six weeks ago, I decided I was finally going to get around to reading the entire Dark Tower cycle; having finally abandoned this one about 200 pages in, I guess that’s one 2023 resolution we won’t be scratching off the list.*

* I read the wiki spoiler entry and am eternally grateful to me for sparing myself.

Execrable garbage.

2023: if it’s shit, just quit.
