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)

Still don't really understand the meaning/value of the dark tower, but there's more to appreciate here than just setting (which I couldn't say for my first read of the Gunslinger).
