Principā bija iekšā "Gunslinger" failā, bet nu lai.
Tāds kā prīkvels "The Dark Tower", ko Kings attaisno ar to, ka jaunpienācējiem šis iecerēts kā labāka iepazīstināšana ar Rolandu, bet rudītiem sērijas faniem - atkalredzēšanās ar iemīļotu varoni. Kas man neatbilda nevienā no variantiem - jau otro reizi lasu sērijas oficiālo pirmo grāmatu, un nevarētu teikt, ka Rolands man būtu dikti mīļš (varbūt pat gluži pretēji, bet par to citu reizi).
It kā stāstam pašam par sevi nav ne vainas - īsti Kinga stilā, dabūju arī tējkaroti ja ne baiļu, tad pretīguma gan (nepatīk kukaiņi) - taču no Kinga un darba, kam vajadzētu iekļauties viņa varenajā sāgā, tomēr gaidīju vairāk. Slikti nav, lieliski arī nē. Tāds "varonis nelika mieru un, ja kā reiz spalva pa rokai, tad kāpēc nepierakstīt".
Sāgu vēl neesmu pabeigusi lasīt, tāpēc grūti spriest, cik liela veŗtība darbam ir tādā kontekstā.

I think what I liked about this story (a novella really) is that it shows the range SK has to work with in the Dark Tower world. It's definitely the closest to straight-up horror that he gets in all the DT work. It's good stuff though. If Roland is a character you like to follow, this book will be worth tracking down.

On the one hand, it's always nice to get some more from a universe you loved reading. On the other hand, I don't really feel like I got anything out of this story. Very dark and melancholic like the gunslinger book, which I did not like much, The Little Sisters of Eluria mainly feels like diving into a dream or an hallucination had by Roland on his journey to the Dark Tower. I did enjoy reading it more than I had the gunslinger since I am more connected to the story at this point, however, it fell kind of flat.

Piccolo spin off della Torre Nera. Niente di catartico, ma fa colore, e i dottori sono parecchio inquietanti.
