Hm that flashback would have been a great book in some prequel series. I feel like we’ll never hear from any of those characters again, so what was the point?

SK talks about how beautiful Susan is and “greater men than Hart Thorin might have given away kingdoms for,” but he only ever seems to describe her hair and her bust. She’s sixteen. Thinking back on it, most women seem to only be described on hair, chest, and are they fat or skinny.

Just killed a dog for apparently no reason. Same kids were cutting the tails off of dogs earlier in the book.

These descriptions of sex between a 14 year old and a 16 year old are pretty graphic for the age of these kids. Even if the 14 year old boy has already had sex once and it was with a prostitute. Even if the 16 year old girl is scheduled to be deflowered by a gross old man within weeks or less at this point.

I can’t remember which review talked about how much SK hates fat women, but definitely seeing that. Talks about funny couples and puts “fat woman-skinny man” into that category.

I think I’ve mentioned this before. It feels like King just throws random shit in that doesn’t make sense and instead of justifying, just says “it’s KA, duh.”

I don’t know if I’m ready to wade back in to “The Dark Tower” so quickly, but that hold came in way faster than expected.
