Very sobering reading this whilst watching DT and his clown posse setting fire to the world.

It’s okay. Probably sitting around a 3 at the moment. The characterisation is fun, and I like that it’s quite a straightforward good vs bad setup. It’s also an interesting premise, and the writing has that very King quality. Beyond that though, it’s just fine.

There’s some great characterisation here, but there are still these lulls where the text slows down, and not always for any particularly compelling reason.

Yes, liking it very much now. Really enjoying the Shine, and also noticing the named places from King's other books.

Okay, okay, it’s warming up now. It had definitely lost a bit of momentum, but now we’re out of that lull of the passing years and back with our protagonist, it feels more focused again.
