The perfect ending to the cycle, no matter what anyone may say. Aside from being a beautiful, heartbreaking, and enthralling tale of the final leg of Roland's journey to the Tower, this book contains - for those brave enough to venture past a discouraging author's note - the most perfect ending to the series I could envision. Until next time, when what was Unfound becomes Found once again, and I stand in the fields of Can'-Ka No Rey. 5/5

TieDyeDude Yes! This was one of the reason that, while not a good adaption, I enjoyed the movie as one of many possible follow-ups to the book's true ending. I look forward to revisiting this epic sometime in the future. Glad you liked it! 11mo
Pikathulhu @TieDyeDude I've heard that about the movie - I'll have to swallow my unease and give it a watch at some point. Hopefully as a prelude to an excellent and pitch-perfect adaptation by Mike Flanagan! 11mo

Let me just say that I still think that The Dark Tower could have ended no other way. King sort of leads on that maybe he wasn‘t quite content with it but I would have to disagree. (I mean, what does he know; he only dedicated half his life to writing it.)

This entry is not without its faults. I think King misses a lot of opportunities, and if he hadn‘t felt rushed to complete it, this could have been a truly epic book. Still, that ending though…

We‘ve reached the end of Roland‘s quest for the Dark Tower. Long has it been and many a friend and loved one were lost. Was it worth the toil and loss? Only the reader/listener can decide. I highly recommend this series. This was my third time and I still picked up things I missed the first two times. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

“Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings...and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.”

#expandeddt completed ✅

This took me far longer than intended as I went on a lot of reading detours along the way but I‘m happy to have finally made it through. I finished up with the Dark Tower VII which just has so much going on but did have me in tears towards the end. 🥺
I thoroughly enjoyed tracking the connections thru so many books (if even loosely connected).

I did it. I have spent the last year with Roland and his ka-tet. Commala come come, the journey is done.

How can I summarise my feelings, or even the plot, of this magnificent magnum opus?

This is what King excels at - he doesn‘t just lay words on a page, he brings them alive in the mind of the reader. I don‘t think I will ever forget the scene building throughout this series.

Sai King, I say thank ya.

It‘s a bit murky at times, but ultimately this an exciting and emotional conclusion to King‘s magnum opus.

I'm a massive SK fan so it's a massive shame that I haven't really enjoyed this. There we books along the way I really enjoyed but the last couple haven't left me particularly enthralled. I haven't hated the journey, but I'm not skipped along either.

However I really loved this ending. Weirdly the ending makes me want to go back to the first book and start all over again, I can see why Dark Tower fans get into this loop!

DrexEdit I'm on book four. I really hope to finish this series next year! 3y

😁 3RD QUARTER 2021 FAVORITES 😁

I read 104 books in the third quarter of 2021, here are my 25 favorites.

I‘ve been picking so many winners! So many 4.75-5 ⭐️ reads!!! Amazing!!

I had no DNF‘s!

I‘d have to say that The entire Dark tower series in September might have been my favorite but I loved all of these for a multitude of different reasons!!

What books did you read in the 3rd quarter that you‘d classify as favorites?

Aims42 I also loved ‘Under the Whispering Door‘ 😍 His books make me ugly cry one second and then he has me smiling like a fool a second after that 😂 3y

#20in4 update!
We‘re at the halfway mark & my goal was to have read 305 pages or 10 hours by now. Alas, I‘ve read 97 pages in 4 hours 10 minutes. Instead I spent the afternoon yesterday putting together our first grown-up patio furniture set with my husband & doing yard work. A different accomplishment!
I also read 6 pages of Phantasmagoria while waiting in line on Friday. The Dark Tower is too big for my purse.
Recommitting to the Readathon!

We took a quick beach trip today just for the peace it offers us. We‘re listening to the Dark Tower series as our road trip book and are on book 7. Unfollow was my “sit and read”book, Return to Sullivan‘s Island was my walking book (still really annoyed by Beth), and Rivals of Dracula was my husband‘s beach read. The trip gave us just what we needed — peace. #audiowalk

The accent marks make no sense to me so I have a mental block about remembering where to put them! 5y
