Very slow start but the ending picks up and I'm pretty excited for the next one based off the ending of this one.

Frank Muller did an incredible job narrating this audiobook! I didn't know what to expect going into this book; I didn't really enjoy the first book in the series, it was slow and not a lot happened - mostly world building. This one however was much more engaging and will make me continue the series.

I loved this book so much. I liked this one much more than the first book in The Dark Tower series. It was adventurous and much easier for me to follow. I'm so excited to continue this series and the journey to The Dark Tower!!

By far one of the best books I’ve ever read. The characters are incredible, the pacing is perfect, and the situations the characters are put through are extremely impactful.

The hard r N word is used very liberally at times and a character is a racist caricature (though this is commented on within the book and she’s that way due to certain events)

This was a wild ride. I struggled with the first book, and I hesitated to pick this one up. It ended up absolutly grabbing me and dragging me along. There are not many books I slow down my reading speed for for audiobooks, and this one was 100% worth it. I ended up consuming the whole thing in less than two days. Can't wait for the next one.
