My beef with Stephen King has always been that his books are a little too bleak and a little too male-gaze-y for me to enjoy them fully. That said, this is one of my favorites of his. I feel like as he ages his stories get more hopeful and less cynical, and this book is a testament to that. I had a really good time reading this, and if you’re like me and you LOVE a cursed city and a twist on the Chosen One trope, try this one out.
