ljudy 's review for:
Wolves of the Calla
by Stephen King
I really have mixed feelings on this one. On the positive side, I really like the continuation/connection to Salem's Lot, the unfolding mystery is really interesting to me, and the climactic confrontation with the wolves is really well done.
But also, the pacing is on the dull side, and there are some significant plot developments with Susannah's character that I found extremely frustrating. In the end, it kind of felt like that trope about comic book movies: that it feels more like a set up for the next story than a true story in its own right. So much so that a shocking amount of this installment is left either with shallow and vague explanations or kind of unresolved altogether.
That said, I've always looked at the Dark Tower series as more like a tv show than any other series I've read. So this "season" was a bit disappointing. But the characters and concept are solid enough to keep me going, even if it's a significant step down from the previous books.
