It’s the fifth and final book in the Acendance series. I both can’t wait to finish it and really don’t want to because it’s been the best series I’ve read in a while.

The older I get, the more I enjoy novels with a handful of characters only and a lovely setting. No more big city novels for me.

Complete and Unabridged version...I am on a reading renaissance of sorts in 2024 (in particular I discovered BetterWorldBooks and the joys of $5 hardcovers instead of $13 paperbacks and my lost love of Stephen King novels)...
Since January, I have completed the following novels (re-reads as noted):
11/22/63 (Stephen King - I bought this back in 2012 and coinciding with a long respite from reading, it ended up on a shelf in basement until I started and finished it in a 3 day sprint over New Year's holiday...then I went off! LOL...),
It (King - I had owned a paperback version of this for literally 20 years and never took the time to read it, once I started it I was hooked...didn't care for the Hulu series after the novel though it was not too horrible to avoid finishing it...),
Carrie (King - never once thought much about reading this one...the image of Sissy Spacek from the 1976 film version was sort of off-putting to me, so I avoided it for a long time...),
Salem's Lot (King re-read, this one was nearly the same as 'Carrie' for me, but instead it was the TV version of Barlowe from Tobe Hooper's 1979 classic that kept me away),
The Shining (King re-read, I had read this as a teenager and the problem was I saw the story was Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall at the time...on re-read, I was picturing Rebecca DeMornay and Steven Weber instead and the '97 TV show as template instead of the '80 Kubrick film...this is one I GREATLY enjoyed on re-read),
The Dead Zone (King re-read - once more down the memory hole...The Dead Zone was one of my very first King novels read and I loved film version with Walken and Sheen in the lead roles even if the plot and resolution seem too close for comfort to 2024 documentary status...),
Elevation (King),
The Long Walk (King/Bachmann),
Revival (King),
The finally switched gears for a respite in March from Mr. King's voluminous works... I finished off 'The Passage' (Justin Cronin) last week and I am 250 pages into Swan Song (Robert McCammon).
I plan to move back to Cronin's 'The Twelve' next and then either finish off The Passage trilogy or swing back to McCammon's 'Boy's Life'. My goal is to complete Stephen King's The Dark Tower series this summer. I have all of the main novels (including the 8th entry that was added after the series ended with 'The Dark Tower') and also the graphic novels that sort of tell the stories of 'The Gunslinger', 'The Little Sisters of Eluria', and "Wizard and Glass' in graphic novel form.
