I have become totally obsessed with this series! How did I not read it sooner!
Roland is the last Gunslinger and his destiny is to reach the Dark Tower. In the last book we were introduced to his world while questing after the Dark Man. In this novel Roland is completing the prophecy spoken by the oracle, that he would draw three people from our world into his own. These people will help him reach the tower.
I loved this book so much! I am normally a King fan and I know that his style is not for everyone but this series is the exception to that rule. The set up is just as detailed but the novels flow at a faster pace, there is tons of action, it does not fall into the horror genera; any fan of epic fantasy would love it too. If you like Westerns I would recommend these as well. The characters are amazing, it would give too much away to go into detail, but it is easy to picture them as real people. The world is relatable and logical, which isn't always important but I keep coming back to that fact and if alternate realities and everything did exist this is how I picture them.
I would love to hear what you think of The Dark Tower and/or Stephen King :)
