So Roland and his ka-tet are on their quest to find and save the Dark Tower. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to. The wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. But beyond the tranquil farm town, the ground rises to the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is stealing the town’s soul. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis. Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing south-east through the forests of Mid-World on their quest for the Dark Tower. It’s almost three years, in case you’re curious…įirst sentence: Tian was blessed (though few farmers would have used such a word) with three patches: River Field, where his family had grown rice since time out of mind Roadside Field, where kaJaffords had grown sharproot, pumpkin, and corn for those same long years and generations and Son of a Bitch, a thankless tract which mostly grew rocks, blisters, and busted hopes. This function showed me just how long it took me to finish this fifth Dark Tower book, or at least how long I put it aside before finally making it through. A nice little thing on Goodreads is that, when you mark a book as “currently reading”, then change your mood and put it back as “to read”, Goodreads remembers when you started reading and even where you stopped.
