It has been several years since I read "The Dark Tower" series, Mr. Kings foray into the world of fantasy. It has not been so long ago that I have forgotten how truly pissed off I was by the ending. So when this book was released in 2012, I was still irked enough that I decided not to read this book.
As the saying goes "Time heals all wounds." and I can now stamp finished on "The Dark Tower" series.
This is a story within a story told by Roland to his ka-tet during one stormy night. It tells just a little bit about Roland's life as a young gunslinger. It was nice to come back to this world, and the story (or stories) told was a good one.
I'm glad I finally read this last book in the series. This is the way I would like to remember the gunslinger, sitting around a campfire with his ka-tet, telling stories and if not happy per se, at least at rest and content.

Such a great little detour on my way to the Dark Tower!
Set between books 4 and 5, this book not only tells a nice little mystery story, but it also has a story within a story, The Wind Through The Keyhole.
Published a number of years after the series’ finale, King did a great job with making the book feel like it had been part of the original series.
As my time with the ka-tet comes to an end, with only one main book left after this, I can only hope that my boy Steve writes more of these!

(8/10)- A story within a story within a story. Wow. I loved all three of them, too. The Tim part was incredible, for the most part, except for Kells’ motivations, which were slightly unclear (other than because Crimson King). It was also a little out there, a little over the top, but it still worked. The Debaria part was also pretty good, even if it ended pretty simply and not much out of the ordinary happened for all that it was hyped up to be. Still really liked it. The current ka-tet part was also good, albeit short, but what bugged me was that the characters that I love seemed a bit stiff and formal, not really like how they usually are. But I still love love love this series and this book lived up to my expectations, so I’m happy.
