John Romanos asked this question about The Wind Through the Keyhole (The Dark Tower, #4.5):
I have read the entire Dark Tower series except for The Wind Through the Keyhole. I know it's a connection between books 4 and 5, and mostly a flashback of Roland's younger years, but I'd like to know if the people who have read it would recommend reading it between those books, or reading it after book 7. Which way flows better?

I am currently re-reading the entire thing and wanted to do it chronologically so read this after Wizard and Glass and really enjoyed that placement.

There's a nice little emotional punch at the end that sort of follows up on events in Book 4. Also I suspect that it might have felt gratuitous if I had read it after the entire series was over, already knowing everyone's fate and all. (less)
