Definitely in my Top 5 for favorite books. It’s got everything you could want from a book: mystery, romance, adventure, magic. Well worth the 1k+ pages
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Medical trauma, Pregnancy, Ableism, Cursing, Drug abuse, Sexual content, Body horror, Confinement, Racial slurs, Addiction, Excrement, Gore, Drug use, Grief, Medical content, Mental illness, Murder, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Sexual assault
As usual, Stephen King has unprotected sex with racial slurs. Just something to be aware of
