11.15.12 | King's afterthought of a Dark Tower book. It's a bit of a story within a story within a story and the nesting egg structure makes me feel like it might have been cooler if the book was somehow presented as separate short stories or maybe even that the actual Wind Through the Keyhole story itself was just a novella in the next story collection that he releases. But oh well, it's still new story in the Dark Tower universe and as such is pretty good. That it's mostly either a flashback to Roland's younger days or a fairy tale taking place before Roland was even around is even better since it shares flavors of Wizard and Glass which I thought was excellent. Again, it would've been cool to include the Little Sisters of Eluria in this though and have it be more of a Dark Tower Stories book but whatever. Still good, still great writing. Doesn't add a bit to the canon but who says it has to. |
