This installment of the Dark Tower feels very much like a "transitional" book, a stepping stone to fill in some of the gaps before we get to the last Dark Tower. Honestly, (writing this after finishing both SOS and TDT) I can't really remember which plot events happened in SOS versus the beginning of TDT.
I will say, I really enjoyed getting more of Susannah -- I feel up until this point in the ka-tet's journey, she was like a shell of a character? And seeing her internal struggle with Mia gave her a lot of depth. I also felt sympathy and heartbreak for Mia.
