This involves a lengthy flashback to Roland’s adolescence, his love affair with “girl at the window” Susan Delgado and the things that happened in the small town of Hambry. Roland, not fully committed to his ka-tet the way they are to him, begins Wizard and Glass by telling his friends about the events that led him to seek out The Dark Tower.
When I read the series years ago it was Wizard and Glass that proved to be my boredom/offended threshold for King’s The Dark Tower. Pre-Song of Susannah it didn’t make sense to me, but after finishing the sixth novel in the series it really, really does. Apparently that’s a very literal summary. I’d heard, years ago, someone describing the series ending as (spoiler alert) “they all go back to the start”. A tale of long-ago love and adventure involving a beautiful and quixotic woman named Susan Delgado.I should probably start this review by admitting that after finishing Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower #6) I made the mistake of reading spoilers for The Dark Tower’s ending, and haven’t touched the novels since. And, having narrowly escaped one world, they set out on a terrifying journey across the scarred urban wasteland to brave a new world where hidden dangers lie at every junction: a malevolent computer-run monorail hurtling towards self-destruction, Roland's relentlessly cunning old enemy, and the temptation of the wizard's diabolical glass ball, a powerful force in Roland's first love affair. The Dark Tower beckons Roland, the Last Gunslinger, and the four companions he has gathered along the road.
