Our view
The final Dark Tower volume closes a quest unlike most others in fantasy. Some readers who have come this far find the ending earns its place, even if it takes time to accept. The heroes are drawn with depth, though some feel the villains get less care and that certain confrontations pay off less than their long build-up promises. At 845 pages it is only for those who know the earlier books.
