Edukiari buruzko abisua plot/characer spoilers maybe?

I wanted to like this more than I did: witches, a Phantom-esque plotline, theater puns... but the anti-fatness really rubbed me the wrong way. I understand this is a huge factor in the motivation of Agnes/Perdita as a character. It just took the wind out of the story-sails and made the whole thing less enjoyable :(

I appreciated this foray into Roland’s backstory even though it was slower and less adventurous than previous books in the series. Not my favorite by far but certainly an important piece of the Dark Tower puzzle.

Been interesting reading this a few years after the COVID-19 pandemic first began in 2020.

All in all I felt this book was twice as long as it really needed to be. I stayed up all night plowing through the final 1/3 of the book because I wanted to get to the resolution and I found myself skipping entire chapters of meaningless exposition. As a fan of Stephen King I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised. Maybe I’m just anxious to get through this Man In Black character development so I can continue on my Dark Tower Extended Reading journey. I miss the gunslingers.

I skipped through about 1/3 of this book because it just dragged on and on… and on. Perhaps I’ve read too many Rincewind novels in a row and spoiled my wizard appetite. Got to the end out of pure spite and I’m glad I’ll never have to read it again.
