I think the antagonists (the True Knot - or Naught, I listened to this so not sure about spelling) were kinda cartoonishly evil and too easily defeated. But that's fine with me, I'm usually more interested in character than action anyway.
Tons of content warnings in this one, some I may have forgotten to tag, but it's a King novel so...if you're sensitive tread carefully.

in Doctor Sleep’s defence, I absolutely loved Abra and the other hero characters were all pretty likeable while the antagonists were disgusting and I wanted them gone. so characters were great but the plot just wasn’t really there for me.
