I enjoyed the setting of this book; I feel there's not a lot of fantasy set in what feels like the wild west. It was also refreshing to have a book that wasn't too long. The first 75% of the book had me gripped; it meandered a little towards the end, but as it is the first in a series, I presume that will be explained in subsequent books. Definitely will be reading the next but not immediately reaching for it.

"il suo sangue non aveva sete, si faceva servire, si faceva venerare con il sacrificio altrui. Sacrifici di sangue. L'unica cosa che era richiesta al sangue era di scorrere.... E scorrere... E scorrere."

Ho iniziato questa saga perché spinta dal consiglio di un amico per me molto importante e la continuerò per lo stesso motivo, ma quantomeno a mio parere questo primo volume è stato una supercazzola non indifferente.
Partendo dal presupposto che fino ad un buon 70% mi sono annoiata come non mai, il libro inizia ad essere interessante per il restante 30%.
L'uomo in nero lo considero un cattivo coi fiocchi e Roland per il momento riesco solo a paragonarlo a Shadow di American Gods.
Per il momento resto tiepida a riguardo di questa saga, mi esprimerò più avanti

Overall a very good book! I found it a little challenging to read (very flowery text) but that’s likely due to me only reading one book in the last ten years and only just coming back to reading.

A really good book if you like Stephan King and can tolerate high fantasy that doesn't explain much right away. Well written and a fun read, but its the kind of book you love or hate.
