Part III of an epic saga. Roland and his companions, Eddie and Susannah Dean, find the Path of the Beam that will lead them to the Dark Tower. Along the way, Roland adds two new members to his ka-tet (a group united for a specific purpose).

Moves the story along nicely.
Blaine is a fascinating character and I'm looking forward to his plot's resolution. Also 10/10 illustrations.
Phew. If I have on complaint about Stephen King books, it's that they're exhausting because they move so quickly and never stop. In some ways, BLAINE THE PAIN TRAIN, who adorns the cover of this magnificent volume of The Dark Tower, is like an angry, dangerous metaphor for King's storytelling.
I mean, there's a lot of nothing happening in this book, but there's also an evil train who likes riddles.
