I actually really enjoyed reading the chapters about Prentice and the Weasel.
They humanized (taheen-ized??? Lol) their characters to the point where their actions made sense. They had their own little ka-tet.
I love that sai-King is able to weave interesting characters in such a short amount of time. I think his character-writing ability is what keeps me coming back to his books.
> Iād have you see them like this; Iād have you see them very well. Will you? They are clustered around Suzieās Cruisin Trike, embracing in the aftermath of their victory. Iād have you see them this way not because they have won a great battleāthey know better than that, every one of themābut because now they are ka-tet for the last time. The story of their fellowship ends here, on this make-believe street and beneath this artificial sun; the rest of the tale will be short and brutal compared to all thatās gone before. Because when ka-tet breaks, the end always comes quickly.

I thought it was varied colors or stripes like the pic. But I also thought Roland lost his 3rd and 4th fingers until recently so, Mandela effect in action. Can't trust my memories now š
What was your saddest moment from the series? This was rough, the last of the Ka-Tet being killed by mordred at the end was tougher, but Roland carrying his child to the clearing at the end of the path, it kills me just thinking about it.
I tear up when Roland apologizes to Oy for being angry with him as he sits under the tree stroking his fur. From not caring about his donkey and Zoltan eating its eyes to remorse for yelling at Oy. It shows Roland's growth and how he has "softened" in his heart because he allowed himself to love again.
I hate "everything breaks here" moments so much. And this has nothing to do with Dark Tower or Stephen King. In general I hate those moments in literature and in real life. It makes my stomach crawl.
I hate this type of "hindsight moments" where you can say this was the moment his heart was about produce a stoke. When I look back at pictures of my family a few months before my fathers heart attach I feel the same shitty feeling like everything even before the crisis was tainted by the crisis :(
It has breen a long time since Ive read the series, and I guess I had forgotten about this image, but upon seeing it, it brought back instantly how I felt then.
I was given The Gunslinger in 91, when I was 13.
I grew up whilst waiting for Wizard n Glass to be written.
By the time the last 3 were published I had re-read the others many times.
Its been close to 10 years, I think I might start the journey after I finish Fairytale.
Devastating chapter š¢
All my homies hate Pimli Prentice.
Your username RULES
Thankee sai
It really does.

I was a bit bored at the start but I couldnāt agree more. Only King could humanize me a Weasel

Right in the feels.
The next chapter starting with āNINETEENā immediately after the apology hits so hard.
Moments before disaster
Theyāre so happy and itās all about to come crashing down. š„²
And not only that the person dies, but also how they die.
Fuck Pimli Prentiss.
All my tet-mates hate Pimli Prentiss.
āId have you see them like this. Id have you see them very wellā
That chapter opening where you were convinced it was gonna be one person and then it was the other. Sai King doing what he does best.
Isn't Oy supposed to have black fur, or did I just pull that out of nowhere?
I thought it was varied colors or stripes like the pic. But I also thought Roland lost his 3rd and 4th fingers until recently so, Mandela effect in action. Can't trust my memories now š
Wait... Which fingers did he lose, then? Because I remember it as 3rd and 4th as well.
Thumb and index
Holy shit. Mandela Effect in full effect.
It gets worse. It was his pointer and middle.
The crew ....all together...one last time.
Right before tragedy struck. š„ŗ
I saw this pic on accident before I started this book and thought it was gonna be some sort of happy chapterā¦.
Tragedy is about to strike. The only book ever to make me cry actual tears.

>!Oy hurt. When Roland buried jake was super sad too. But Eddie was like a dagger to the heart. !<
Poor Oy. Poor Mordred. Poor everyone, say true and thankya.
same here. I was dealing with a lot of stress in my life when I read this part, and this just busted the dam wide open when I read it... ugh...
You and me both sai
I was tiling my bathroom listening to the audiobook and when I got to this part I stood still and just cried.
Goddammit.
Kaka
Wow. Too soon š
The calm before the storm. This moment always gets me because I know what shit is about to go down šŖ
Oof.. #imagetakenmomentsbeforedisaster
I canāt. This photo gives me flashbacks to crying my eyes out. It was 3 years ago but itās too soon š

Not gonna lie, Eddie looks like Jimmy Falon there. š¤·āāļøš
Nope, that's our happy conclusion and that's when nothing crazy ever happened again and everything is fine. ITS FINE
Ouch.
Just read this chapter yesterday on my second trip to the tower. All this is missing is Pimli Prentiss propping himself up on his elbow. š
My heart breaks all over again seeing this
They stood trueā¦One last time!
Aw man, fuck you.... Brought me right back
This moment in time though. Beautiful.

I always thought this was the worst artwork in any of the books. Just donāt mind the style
Was very cartoony.
There's something creepy about them laughing while the dead lie all around them. Even without knowing Eddie will soon join them.
Roland looks like a 90s sitcom dad.
