5.0
i don't rly have much to say about this atm except that i am relieved to find i enjoyed this just as much the second time round as i did the first time i read it, way back when i was a youngin. honestly i love roland a whole lot? i'm so excited for the movie lmao. i rly love this world, with all its shining crumbling facets, and the concept of the dark tower is just....wonderful.
chapter five is fucking amazing lmao, i love the tarot reading.
i will forever be sad about jake, though.
(re: the child abuse warning, there are numerous scenes describing roland's gunslinger training which feature a grown man beating children lmao. there are also a couple scenes featuring implications of rape -- the stone circle with the oracle, a scene in a flashback featuring roland's mother & the man named marten (this also features some domestic violence) -- but nothing graphic or really overt, so i decided not to tag for it.)
