WOW. This book was a roller coaster. The ka-tet continues on their journey to the mystic dark tower in end world. The twists and turns and near constant suspense quite surprised me, however, because a friend of mine told me this book was "slow". Personally, I found this book much more climactic and interesting than the other two, particularly more so than the second.
Many things do happen in this book, although it does not have a rushing or dragging feeling to it. The characters become ever-more fleshed out, making the reader even more so attached to all of them. The characters run into many things that slow up their journey across the "Beam", including a nasty run in with a Guardian and the need to find a previous lost character. You get a better look into this world that once belonged to Roland, but as he is so fond of saying, "The world has moved on" and the full effects are shown in this novel.
This is one of the few book series that I have read lately that I have not felt like the original should have just been a stand alone. I am very greatful for the continuation of Roland's great quest and hope the books following this one will continue to impress me.
