This book has every characteristic a great book needs. It's even better because it's the 5th book of a series: we have learned a great deal about the characters by now, and we've learned to love them, and understand them. And yet, we are to know them better in this book. That's the work of a master storyteller.

I’m running out of words to accurately describe the wonder of this series. How often do you get to the fifth book in and still find you’re hanging on every word, desperate to find out what happens next but not wanting it to end .....? This book brings our ka-tet to a small village that is plundered for it’s children every couple of decades and the locals wouldn’t dream of trying to stand up for themselves against the Wolves from Thunderclap. But all is not as it might seem, and there are questions to be answered - should they trust Andy the messenger robot, why is time shifting differently here, is Callaghan the preacher one of them, who is in control - Susannah or Mia, daughter of none? Truly amazing series, I can’t wait to read the next!

Wolves of Calla makes up for whatever it was that the Wizard and Glass (#4) was. I enjoyed the suspense leading up to the end and all the side stories that seemingly foreshadowed the events to come in this book and the next book..and other books written from Stephen King.

Much better than the previous volume, this book got back to the coterie of main characters, tied in elements from the previous books masterfully, and introduced new elements in the final pages that left me reeling in anticipation for the final two books.
AND King made a Harry Potter reference. It was awesome. Worth the journey alone.

This is my least favorite book in the series thus far, after I really enjoyed the last 3. Onto the next!
This is my fave book of the series. It has more depths than the other books, more aha moments. And though the plot at moments seems like a bot of a detour from the quest to the Dark Tower, it seems more forward moving than the previous novels.
