Here is Roland’s journey to his own past, to a time when valuable lessons awaited him, lessons of loyalty and betrayal, love and loss. But his romance with the beautiful and quixotic Susan Delgado also has its dangers, as her world is tom apart by war. And it is there that Roland tells them a story, one that details his discovery of something even more elusive than the Dark Tower: love. Wizard and Glass picks up where the last book left off, with our hero, Roland, and his unlikely band of followers escaping from one world and slipping into the next. Publication date: First published in 1997 (this edition 2003) Genre: Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Speculative Fiction The Drawing of the Three (Dark Tower 2).The journey continues here, in a different version of Topeka, Kansas, on a sort of yellow brick road, and into Roland’s sad past, with Wizard and Glass (Dark Tower 4). All readers – those new to the Dark Tower, and those who have traveled the path before – are welcome to join the ka tet! Every second Wednesday of the month, the next book in the Dark Tower cycle will be reviewed and discussed here. Inspired by the results of our March Old School Wednesdays Idea Poll, starting in March of 2015, Thea is rereading one of her favorite series’ of all time: The Dark Tower by Stephen King. What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past? We came up with the idea towards the end of 2012, when both Ana and Thea were feeling exhausted from the never-ending inundation of New and Shiny (and often over-hyped) books. Old School Wednesdays is a weekly Book Smugglers feature. THIS MONTH ON THE DARK TOWER: Wizard and Glass is a departure from the other books in the series so far in that it leaves Roland’s new ka tet and revisits his youth, a doomed love affair, and a small outer rim colony called Mejis.

Old School Wednesdays presents Thea’s epic reread of The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King.
