It's hard to review this book and not think of it as the end of a ~4000 page journey. But I'll try.

I really enjoyed this journey, and the end of Roland's journey, as well as that of the ka-tet, seemed quite fitting. I must admit that I sort-of saw the direction it was heading in, yet I was still very satisfied by it's conclusion.

Of all the 7 books in the series, this one was the longest in page count yet seemed to move the fastest of all of them. I'm sure some of that was me running downhill towards the end, but I was also fully engaged with the story throughout. In any series such as this, there are going to be some lulls where your attention wanders, but not in this finale.

After this book, King later returned to the Dark Tower for another novel. I'm sure I'll circle back to it at some point, but for now, I'm taking a break from Mid-world.

p.s. I watched the film again after finishing this book, and boy-howdy is it a real turd. What a disappointment.
