There are still aspects of King's writing that are still sexist, racist, and ableist, so I can't give it the 5 stars it might have had without these inclusions. Compared to The Shining, this book does better in a lot of ways since I couldn't stop reading this 500+pg book.Â

I definitely feel like the sequel wasn't necessarily needed but it did tell an interesting albeit very different story. Dan and Abra are fantastic protagonists and the True Knot do genuinely chill the bones!!
I very much enjoyed this read and it won't be long until I'm onto my next King book!
