Well heckin' dang, I really wanted to like this book, and the ending was great, but it was so long and boring that I hated it so much.

One of the best entries in the Dark Tower series and therefore, one of King's best.
This is where I start to dislike the series. Kings writing really takes a turn for the worst in my opinion. This book picks up after Wind Through the Keyhole our Ka-Tet has come to a small farming community, Calla, that has a major problem. Every so often, riders called Wolves because of the masks they wear, comes and steals half their children. Most of the children in Calla are born as twins, the Wolves steal one half of the pair and send it back years later "roont", which means they are now mentally disabled, unusually large, and die at a very young age. As usual, the Gunslingers are asked to solve the problem, but it is never as clear as just getting rid of some bad people, the Wolves are agents of the Crimson King, and there is the added complication of Susannah being pregnant, and it isn't a wanted pregnancy. Not a favorite book, and really, if the series had ended with this one, I would have been just fine.

Im not entirely sure how I felt about this book. At times I thought it was great, at others it seemed clumsy.
I think this one might have been my favorite of the series. It had the most straightforward plot, with a good reveal and twists and turns.

I wouldn’t say I disliked this, but it was very long with not much happening for about 80% of the book. It also felt like the main characters made many decisions on a feeling or hunch, which seems like a lazy way to move the story along. 19??? I’m sure this will make more sense later. I’m in too deep with this series to stop now
