3.5⭐️ was a bit undecided on this one a lot of the time but definitely still good enough to continue

Phew. If I have on complaint about Stephen King books, it's that they're exhausting because they move so quickly and never stop. In some ways, BLAINE THE PAIN TRAIN, who adorns the cover of this magnificent volume of The Dark Tower, is like an angry, dangerous metaphor for King's storytelling.

I mean, there's a lot of nothing happening in this book, but there's also an evil train who likes riddles.

Moves the story along nicely.

Blaine is a fascinating character and I'm looking forward to his plot's resolution. Also 10/10 illustrations.

This series keeps getting better, the world keeps expanding, and the riddles keep coming.

With every consecutive sentence, King draws me (ha) further into his spellbinding universe. Each book thus far has surpassed the last, The Waste Lands being one of the smartest and most gripping novels I've read in a long time.
10/10 would wake Blaine again.
