As is the case with every King book that I read I went into this one knowing nothing and with low expectations. This one ended up just being an ok read for me and everyone in the #KeeperofKing group.

This one had a lot of potential but it was way too long and it made it drag so much. I actually considered DNFing it because I was bored but I pushed through. I say I was bored because of how much the story was dragging but at the same time I was invested in the story. I wanted to know what was going to happen. 

The problematic things that we usually notice in Kings books seemed to be worse in this book especially in the first half of the book. This one definitely could have benefited by being a lot shorter. I will be reading the second book so hopefully that one will be better.
