Bryan L. Fordham reviewed The Waste Lands by Stephen King (The dark tower #3)
None
5 stars
Much more to this story than the others, building on the world that has been established. And a lot more happens.

Después de haber superado con éxito las invocaciones de las tres puertas, Rolando está atormentado por la paradoja temporal que creó al salvar a Jake de Jack Mort. Pero ahora cuenta con Eddie y Susannah, que ya no son prisioneros en el mundo del pistolero: ahora participan en la búsqueda de Rolando y descubren con él el Camino del Haz. Entre los doce portales que limitan el Mundo Medio transcurren seis haces de luz que se entrecruzan en el centro del mundo de Rolando, y que quizá de todos los mundos. Transitar por los haces es arduo y les descubre mundos nuevos además de peligrosos, pero Rolando conseguirá, por fin, deshacer la paradoja de la no-muerte de Jake. Los cuatro se arriesgarán a sumergirse en la búsqueda de ese centro del Mundo Medio donde puede ser que encuentren La Torre Oscura.

One of the things I like about this series is that it's not just fantasy or sci-fi. When an author creates a new world that is either in the far future, on another planet, or completely new, there are certain limitations you have. Here, Stephen King has created a parallel universe to our world. He can use magic, technology, anachronisms, and historical references. It makes for a unexpected story and allows Stephen King to be very creative. So much so, that these books are very atypical for Stephen King, for the notable exception of the scene with the Haunted House. That was classic Stephen King.
