Libro avvincente e coinvolgente. Nonostante le quasi 1000 pagine non stanca mai e si lascia divorare. Ispirato (neanche troppo velatamente) al Signore degli Anelli, forse gli manca un po' dell'epicità del libro di Tolkien, avendo invece una trama che, specie nella seconda metà, procede in modo un pelo troppo lineare e prevedibile, forse perché punta ad un target di lettori giovanissimi. Rimane comunque un libro godibile anche da adulti.

I read The Dark Tower series years ago without really reading too much of King’s other work. So it’s interesting to get a perspective that dips into that world like The Talisman does.

There’s some pretty trope-y characters, but they’re more comfortable than annoying. It’s a long story, but interesting the entire way through.

Good book. Some parts slower than others, but overall a fantastic story. I definitely recommend reading this at least once. I did see a similar story to the stand in the good vs evil aspect but more so of your internal feelings instead of in the world. Kept looking for references to eye of the dragon as I heard they connect but I must have missed that one, aside from the mention of when he was “diming”.
