I'm in two minds about how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I'm impressed by the scale of the story and by some of the best character development I've ever read.

That, and the fact that by the fourth book (as this is a bind up of books 1-4), I found things edged toward tedious.
A long, fantastical novel by Stephen King, written like a fairytale.
