Another amazing chapter in The Dark Tower saga. This book gave a great insight into Roland and his story as a young man. I just love this series!
Took a while, but was enjoyable! The change of pace was a bit disorienting, but I found myself eagerly getting sucked into the story of young Roland and his old ka-tet.
And he blew my mind again. While only about 10% of this book further the plot and the rest is a flashback into Roland's past, I wouldn't have wanted to miss a single page. What an amazing (and surprisingly romantic) story within a story. There was one passage that felt a bit too long but other than that this book was perfect. 9/10 points.
