nickclewley 's review for:
Wolves of the Calla
by Stephen King
“We spread the time as we can, but in the end the world takes it all back.”
It’s over 700 pages. It has rambling side quests. It’s self-referential and self-indulgent. The titular Wolves don’t show up until 93% of the way through the book. It introduces one of my least favourite plot lines (the chap).
And yet, it flows. It has high stakes and mystery. The place and people feel real (with a dialect I could listen to all day long). It moves the quest forward even though it stays in one place. It to adds to the mythos of the world(s).
If you’re in it for the journey you’ll love it. If you just want to get to the damn Tower, you probably won’t.
