emberology 's review for:
Wolves of the Calla
by Stephen King
3.5 stars
Time goes by so fast, but the Dark Tower won't go anywhere. It's fun to remember these past legs and refresh my memory. It could be worse: I could be waiting for six years for another book, but instead it's just me who keeps putting things off.
I read this installment a year ago in May, and it was so great to continue with a story that actually progressed the plot. Wizard and Glass put everything in standstill, but Wolves at least tries to put gears in motion. The story is interesting, the lore is expanded a bit, the characters are developing, and different genres and tropes are mixed freely without it being a mess. I also love the inclusion of a character from Salem's Lot, one of my absolute favorites from King. You'll get to hear what happened after the events in that book, but there's also a nice connection to the DT.
