King doesn’t always hit for me due to unknown reasons, yet this never was a problem with The Dark Tower. There’s just something about the feel to these books that puts me right into the dreamlike and myth making mid-world mood that makes me want to do a quick reread every so often.

Even if one doesn’t continue to the end of the series to see if Roland will ever stand in Can’-Ka No Rey. Will he ever understand his Ka? It’s still such a pleasure to follow the man in black who flees across the desert for at least one tale.

Long days and pleasant nights, stranger…

The conceit of the new PoVs could either make or break the book for you. I personally enjoyed it but will admit the parts I thought I’d enjoy more fell flatter then expected.

The most familiar PoV remained strong throughout and continues to do a lot of heavy lifting compared

I continue to be intrigued where this is going and was actually pleasantly surprised that some of my theories were correct, but not exactly as I’d have envisioned.

Having bounced of Jonathan Strange, but also impressed by Clarke’s prose and story chops I was excited for Piranesi.

This is a book that will stay with me for a long time and will be on my recommendation list for those who want to dabble in more fantastical stories that they don’t usually read
