Very well-written, although somewhat difficult to follow in parts! It kept me engaged. Could’ve done without all the weird sex stuff, however 😅 But I think you just have to expect that with Stephen King.

Well written, hauntingly strange, dreamlike high fantasy with a grounded touch. Explores the dark side of a world that’s dying, or perhaps already dead. Confusing and hard to follow sometimes.

First real foray into Stephen King, and I wasn’t terribly impressed.
