I finished it! I'm glad I started the series when I did, i.e. after they'd all been written. I wish I could say the same of the Song of Ice and Fire!

To be honest, I found this a bit of a slog in parts, particularly the bit about the breakers. But some of it was sublime. Stephen King was very humble and to read him writing of his own accident and making it a plot feature was pure brilliance. And the idea of ka's being a wheel I loved too. I was moved at one point to type out the enormous turtle rhyme.

Overall, not the best series I've read, but I'm glad I did. I have a feeling that it'll be something I think about from time to time and may one day get the urge to read it again.
