abbie_ 's review for:
The Wind Through the Keyhole
by Stephen King
'A person's never too old for stories, Bill. Man and boy, girl and woman, never too old. We live for them'
.
Once again Sai King speaks true. For me, Dark Tower is where King's storytelling gift shines the brightest. Every book is immersive, rich, and ridiculously moving, and The Wind Through the Keyhole is no different.
.
Technically book 4.5, it consists of a story within a story within a story - Kingception! On their way to Calla Bryn Sturgis, Roland and the ka-tet are forced to hole up to escape a starkblast, a fearsome force of nature that destroys everything that isn't nailed down. While they wait out the storm, Roland tells them a story of his early Gunslinger days, when he was sent with Jamie DeCurry to the aid of a town being terrorised by a skin-changer. While here, Roland has an opportunity to tell a frightened young boy the tale of Tim Stoutheart.
.
This books reminds me of the Eyes of the Dragon, as the inner-inner story is set 'once upon a bye, long before your grandfather's grandfather was born', and also features everyone's favourite man in black. It's filled with magic, adventure, drama, and family love. King's ability to switch voices amazes me, it's always clear which story you're in and he moves flawlessly between them!
