Después de haber superado con éxito las invocaciones de las tres puertas, Rolando está atormentado por la paradoja temporal que creó al salvar a Jake de Jack Mort. Pero ahora cuenta con Eddie y Susannah, que ya no son prisioneros en el mundo del pistolero: ahora participan en la búsqueda de Rolando y descubren con él el Camino del Haz. Entre los doce portales que limitan el Mundo Medio transcurren seis haces de luz que se entrecruzan en el centro del mundo de Rolando, y que quizá de todos los mundos. Transitar por los haces es arduo y les descubre mundos nuevos además de peligrosos, pero Rolando conseguirá, por fin, deshacer la paradoja de la no-muerte de Jake. Los cuatro se arriesgarán a sumergirse en la búsqueda de ese centro del Mundo Medio donde puede ser que encuentren La Torre Oscura.
Much more to this story than the others, building on the world that has been established. And a lot more happens.
I've read far beyond not compelled to review which I really should, it's just good for the sake of being good. The Waste Lands where we follow the Beam, the city of Lud, and Blaine the Pain. There was a lot of diversity here, snapshots of time gone wonky, people losing their minds--Lord of the Flies comes to mind and a Mono who controls them all with failed dipolar circuitry.
What a wicked web is weaved and who doesn't smell Gasher through his run? If the mad hatter was truly mad and lived during these times, maybe he would have been the tiktok man?
If you want a vivisection of a city in squalor, it's people gone to ash and our trio+bumbler through this arc and onto the most insane ending you should read this.
The series gets better and better. The pacing of this book is amazing, it feels like so many stories and the drip-like revelations about roland and his world give it a lot of depth.
