I honestly am not sure how to give this a review without spoiling it, but here goes! I loved this. The Ka-tet is fully solidified in this one, and you see all of their personalities changed by these relationships with each other - whether that be funny jokes they now all share or secrets they must keep until the exact right time. The twists are nuts, the connections to King's other works are mind-boggling, and the next book is set up perfectly! I feel like it did lull in some places prior to the wolves, and there is one particular new character whose story could have honestly been its own book. But otherwise, I enjoyed it thoroughly and can't wait for the next installment!
