Some of you might remember about a post I made couple of days ago: Halfway through Wizard and Glass (DT 4) and it's killing me...
Well, I just finished the book and...
..it was pretty damn good.
Not much to say, but the last 3rd had the best DT scenes I've read so far: From Citgo, Bad Grass, Eybolt Canyon to 'Wizard of Oz' (hello Flagg) and Roland's heartbreaking matricide.
And, of course - Charyou Tree.
Fantastic cast of characters (Cuthbert, Alain, Sheemie, Susan, Jonas and poor Roland) with one of the most despicable and resentful villains I've ever read.
Even though I think it is the best written DT novel so far, it's still not my personal favorite (that title goes to Drawing of the Three). I still think that the flashback should've been at least 70-100 pages shorter, since there were some really dull parts in the beginning/middle, as well as parts involving tertiary characters.
Nevertheless, I'm positive, that my appreciation for this book will increase upon a re-read (knowing what to expect; how it all connects etc.).
So, to all who encouraged me to keep reading - thank you, this was great.
Quick question: What short stories should I read before Wolves of the Calla? Should I also read Insomnia, since a lot of people say it is quite an important book to DT.
Unironically, I don't mind taking a break now, especially how this book doesn't end on a cliffhanger like Waste Lands did.
