Review of 'Wizard and Glass (Dark Tower)' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

An incredible love story which feels so out of place when it starts and so right when it ends. This story improves the series for me. There is a scene where the witch fiddles with Susan's genitalia that is disgusting and feels unnecessarily male-focused but King does a great job with young romance and doesn't shirk from the sex, which comes across as informed and (shockingly) in good taste. I love the characters and the story in the framework of the larger story.
