Praise Papa Nurgle! 👏
Hehe, I liked that segment on the plague moon. But wondering what the last half is going to be about. There was so much action and so many important events.

I thought the first book was meh, but I realize it was trying to establish the setting. There is a lot to try to wrap your head around in this expanded universe when you are first jumping in. This book has a lot more momentum and it is drawing me in more. I genuinely didn't want to put it down last night at midnight, but forced myself to stop lest I be a zombie at work today, lol.

Idk why I have been absolute dog shit about reading anything but manga. I guess it is better than nothing though.

After receiving so many likes on just wanting to read it, I decided to take the plunge. Let me tell you, so far, there is a lot to unpack, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

Okay, so the premise of this book sounds really cheesy and but I am willing to just try to sit back and enjoy for what it is.

King's The Talisman really drained me on my reading. I feel bad for falling so far behind in my challenge, but there is still time to catch up. Just gotta find that read that makes me say 'WOW!' to spur the fever again.

Not a bad little fantasy story so far. True to my friend's words, it feels like a novelization of a D&D game - action, action, lots of action,and little time for character development or world building. But that's okay. I am still quite entertained.

A friend loaned this to me. Said it read like a good 1st edition D&D adventure, so I look forward to it.

Still dragging along. Wolf is an absolute delight but even he can't brighten up some of these long-winded King passages. Hoo-boy.

I feel like you could cut like a third of this book out and it would be easier to get through. I get that this is supposed to be like a journey of self-discovery and coming-of-age, but there's a lot of fluff passages here. Not all of it really contributes to the growth of the character or plot.

I forgot how long-winded Stephen King can be

This should be required reading for everyone. I love it so far.

I don't mind the side information about the history of the island and the area, and the little geology lessons, but he does tend to ramble about completely unrelated topics sometimes.
