![]() This current re-read marks the fourth time I have embarked on this literary voyage and I have once again found that the first three books are amongst the best I have encountered in any series in the genre. The Dark Tower series is, for me, a wonderful journey that is subtly different on each occasion. And this is both the joy and frustration of forming an emotional attachment to an ongoing project. If you talk to readers of the Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth, Sword of Shannara, Malazan or Harry Potter series then many will have favourite books, and books they didn't overly like. ![]() ![]() Many run out of steam, many give me the impression that the author - or most likely the publishing company - are going to ride the gravy train for all its worth, regardless of whether there is anything new to say, or if the author used up all of their ideas. My reviews for The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three have explained why I am such a fan of the Dark Tower series but I believe that now, for this review of book three, the purpose should be to talk about whether the author has managed to maintain the very high level standards set in previous instalments.Īnd the reason I think this is due to my experience with the "fantasy series" over the years. As a series progresses I find it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid repetition when attempting to put across exactly what it is I enjoy about the books. ![]()
