The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah by Stephen King

STAVE: Commala-come-call We hail the One who made us all, Who made the men and made the maids, Who made the great and small. RESPONSE: Commala-come-call! He made the great and small! And yet how great the hand of fate That rules us one and all.

This penultimate installment of King's The Dark Tower series really should've been a novella, at the most. There's just so much fat that could've (should've) been trimmed, here. The entirety of the Roland and Eddie storyline works great, getting extremely meta and adding such an interesting, eerie philosophical, existential slant to this epic journey. I really loved all that stuff, and if it was the main thread, here, this would’ve been a significantly more enjoyable reading experience. However, the main storyline, that finds Susannah and Mia in a constant struggle in the hours leading to "the chap"'s birth, is so painfully over-bloated and all-around boring (save for a few small bits that add some depth to the overall story and that fantastic, nightmarish climax that felt reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby in all the right ways). As for the Jake and Callahan thread, all that really could've just been saved for the next book. All-in-all this is probably the worst of The Dark Tower books, so far. I still have some major issues with The Gunslinger, but this surpassed that in its amount of unnecessary pages and the level of boredom reached while reading. I really hope a lot of those Susannah/Mia pages are made worth it in the final installment.

6/10

"The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it." - Stephan King

The Little Sister of Eluria (1998)

Good Reads || My Rating: 3.5/5

The Gunslinger (1982) He is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland pursues The Man in Black, encounters an alluring woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the Kid from Earth called Jake.

Good Reads || My Rating: 5/5

The Drawing of the Three (1987) While pursuing his quest for the Dark Tower through a world that is a nightmarishly distorted mirror image of our own, Roland, the last gunslinger, encounters three mysterious doorways on the beach. Each one enters into the life of a different person living in contemporary New York. Here he links forces with the defiant young Eddie Dean and the beautiful, brilliant, and brave Odetta Holmes, in a savage struggle against underworld evil and otherworldly enemies.

Good Reads || My Rating: 4.5/5

The Waste Lands (1991) Several months have passed, and Roland’s two new tet-mates have become proficient gunslingers. Eddie Dean has given up heroin, and Odetta’s two selves have joined, becoming the stronger and more balanced personality of Susannah Dean. But while battling The Pusher in 1977 New York, Roland altered ka by saving the life of Jake Chambers, a boy who—in Roland’s where and when—has already died. Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are joined by the same madness: the paradox of double memories. Roland, Susannah, and Eddie must draw Jake into Mid-World then follow the Path of the Beam all the way to the Dark Tower. But nothing is easy in Mid-World. Along the way our tet stumbles into the ruined city of Lud, and are caught between the warring gangs of the Pubes and the Grays. The only way out of Lud is to wake Blaine the Mono, an insane train that has a passion for riddling, and for suicidal journeys.

Good Reads || My Rating: 3/5

Wizard and Glass (1997) Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Jake’s pet bumbler survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, one that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, they hear the atonal squalling of a thinny, a place where the fabric of existence has almost entirely worn away. While camping near the edge of the thinny, Roland tells his ka-tet a story about another thinny, one that he encountered when he was little more than a boy. Over the course of one long magical night, Roland transports us to the Mid-World of long-ago and a seaside town called Hambry, where Roland fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who—with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit—ignited Mid-World’s final war.

Good Reads || My Rating: 3.5/5

Wind Through the Keyhole (2012) Roland Deschain and his ka-tet—Jake, Susannah, Eddie, and Oy, the billy-bumbler—encounter a ferocious storm just after crossing the River Whye on their way to the Outer Baronies. As they shelter from the howling gale, Roland tells his friends not just one strange story but two . . . and in so doing, casts new light on his own troubled past.

Good Reads || My Rating: 4/5

Wolves of the Calla (2003) Roland and his tet have just returned to the path of the Beam when they discover that they are being followed by a group of inexperienced trackers. The trackers are from the town of Calla Bryn Sturgis, and they desperately need the help of gunslingers. Once every generation, a band of masked riders known as the Wolves gallop out of the dark land of Thunderclap to steal one half of all the twins born in the Callas. When the children are returned, they are roont, or mentally and physically ruined. In less than a month, the Wolves will raid again. In exchange for Roland’s aid, Father Callahan—a priest originally from our world—offers to give Roland a powerful but evil seeing sphere, a sinister globe called Black Thirteen which he has hidden below the floorboards of his church. Not only must Roland and his tet discover a way to defeat the invincible Wolves, but they must also return to New York so that they can save our world’s incarnation of the Dark Tower from the machinations of the evil Sombra Corporation.

Good Reads || My Rating: 4/5

Song of Susannah (2004) The Wolves have been defeated, but our tet faces yet another catastrophe. Susannah Dean’s body has been usurped by a demon named Mia who wants to use Susannah’s mortal form to bear a demon child. Stealing Black Thirteen, Mia has traveled through the Unfound Door to 1999 New York where she plans to give birth to her chap, a child born of two mothers and two fathers who will grow up to be Roland’s nemesis. With the help of the time-traveling Manni, Roland and Eddie plan to follow Susannah while Father Callahan and Jake will find Calvin Tower, owner of the vacant lot where a magical rose grows: a rose that must be saved at all costs. But despite our ka-tet’s intentions, ka has its own plans. Jake, Callahan, and Jake’s bumbler companion are transported to New York to follow Susannah, while Eddie and Roland are tumbled into East Stoneham, Maine, where they are greeted by Eddie’s old enemy, the gangster Balazar. But it isn’t just bullets that Roland and Eddie must brave. Soon they will meet their maker, in the form of a young author named Stephen King.

Good Reads || My Rating: 3/5

The Dark Tower (2004) Roland Deschain and his ka-tet have journeyed together and apart, scattered far and wide across multilayered worlds of wheres and whens. The destinies of Roland, Susannah, Jake, Father Callahan, Oy, and Eddie are bound in the Dark Tower itself, which now pulls them ever closer to their own endings and beginnings...and into a maelstrom of emotion, violence, and discovery.

Good Reads || My Rating: 4.5/5

I was surprised that I enjoyed this series as much as I did. The characters are interesting, the plot is great, and the universe he built feels extremely believable. Of course, like any series that stretches out across 8 books (not including the prequel), there are times when it feels like things are lagging. However, the ending was well worth those moments, and I highly recommend to anyone who loves a good dark fantasy!

Series Rating: 4/5

The Dark Tower Thoughts

The Dark Tower Thoughts - I've spent the month of January chain reading my way through The Dark Tower by Stephen King and share some of my thoughts about the series.

The Dark Tower is above all else a book about obsession, and this month I have been on my own obsessive journey. After wrapping a very short read for reasons beyond the scope of my understanding I landed upon the first book of the Dark Tower series for my second read of the New Year. I started with The Gunslinger on January 2nd and wrapped the seventh book in the series on January 27th. The time…

Is anyone else not interested in the love story this season for The Summer I Turned Pretty and instead more emotionally invested in the house being sold, Susannah's death affecting the boys and their brotherhood in addition to their crippled mental health? I feel so bad for them both and really think that they need therapy although I'm sure that's already something most people agree upon. Oh, and I'm living for Taylor's character development. The side characters seem to be serving this time, but I must admit my boy Jeremiah is also slicing through with his own maturity and no one can tell me otherwise. Emotions are slapping hard, and I'm not caring for that terrible love triangle excuse of a storyline.

#the summer i turned pretty #tsitp #susannah fisher #jeremiah fisher #conrad fisher #taylor jewel #plot twist taylor and steven's romance is actually gonna be the main love story by the end of szn 2 #tsitp love triangle sucks #fisher boys need therapy #where have i seen that before #inheritance games i'm looking at you #belly help these boys #the beach house needs saving #summer is forever ruined #susannah please come back from the dead and save your boys from complete mental destruction #ps why does back to december hit so hard in the trailer #crying in the corner right now because i was thinking about the boys missing their mom with that song
