Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King
4.0
4.5 stars
This book is up there with "The Drawing of the Three" as one of the best in the series so far. I liked seeing a more traditional format to this entry as well. The group needs to do X and item Y is necessary to do that; someone has item Y and needs them to do Z in order to earn it. Classic quest storyline :) You can tell that Mr. King has a plan for the rest of this series now too. Things are heading in a specific direction and he's answering mysteries more than he's introducing new ones.
My only problem with this book is that Callahan's story takes up way too many pages for what it's worth in the plot. It drug the story out too much and forced the conclusion to happen quite abruptly. The confrontation with the titular Wolves takes up a handful of pages at the very end.
I am becoming a fan of this series at this point :) Sounds strange to say at book 5 of 7 but that's how it feels. The first book didn't feel like it was intended to be anything more than an exercise in stretching one line into a full novel. Book 2 showed that Mr. King had an interest in getting more ideas out of his head, but that's about it until book 5. Now he has a story to tell and you can tell he's bursting to get it all out there. I'm all in with him.
