Susannah, now pregnant, has yet another taking control of her. โ€ฆ

A whole lotta god bothering at a snail's pace

Content warning Hardly a spoiler, but for those who really don't want to know *anything* about the plot

Deer gods, that was a chore ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

There is way too much Christian god bothering in this book. Too much Christian mythology throughout the series, in fact. I don't remember being bothered by that when I read these books so many years ago, but it definitely irritates me now. I know this is King's Lord of the Rings, and I know that LOTR is Christian mythology repackaged into a high fantasy skinโ€”but, somehow, King managed to make The Dark Tower more overtly Christian than Tolkien did LOTR. Frankly, it's gross ๐Ÿคข

Gonna try to plow through the last book, but if it ends up feeling as difficult to get through as Song of Susannah, I'll be jumping ship. I've got more exciting reads on my list.

wants to read We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor (Bobiverse, #1)

A friend told me about this series, said I should check it out. Same friend who recommended Project Hail Mary, which was great, so I'm definitely checking this one out ASAP!
