stephenkingjourney<p>Who proofread this thing? The comment in brackets was inserted by the editors to "clarify" what "Wizard and Glass" was, and they get it wrong (it's the fourth novel, not the third).</p><p><a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/TheDarkTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheDarkTower</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/StephenKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StephenKing</span></a></p>

stephenkingjourney<p>The first disappointing thing I've encountered so far: The author completely neglected to capture Susan's rebuke of Rhea - a rebuke that so offended Rhea that it motivated her to plant that hypnotic suggestion, led to the confrontation with Roland and eventually to Susan's demise.</p><p>They left out the entire motivation for most of Rhea's actions!</p><p><a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/TheDarkTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheDarkTower</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/StephenKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StephenKing</span></a></p>

No back to the main storyline, Rhea's place is exceptionally rendered!

Fascinating conversation - not found in the text of Wizard and Glass - between The Crimson King and the magician, Walter O'Dim.

Wow - this is quite the nightmarish image of The Crimson King!

Now I return to the story proper with Stephen Deschain walking in on his 14-year-old at the whorehouse.

And here's a map of Mejis that would have been very helpful while reading Wizard and Glass.

This lore is fascinating! It's like diving into the Silmarillion after reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Interesting lore of the Mid-World universe.
