The Waste Lands by Stephen King
4.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️.83?
I feel like the further I get into this series, the more it improves. The world building gets more crispy with each situation our ka-tet gets into, and with those challenges the real world stakes grow. We are now more steeped in Mid-World than NYC which is a PLUS, but I have a feeling that these NYC laden flashbacks will keep occurring to my dismay. Still doesn’t reach the heights of any of King’s one-off novels, but it is an excellent entry to a so-so story so far (you can probably tell I wasn’t the biggest fan of Gunslinger or Dot3).
