Although a little slow moving, things overall get more interesting than in the previous book in the series. I still haven't quite got to grips with the story or setting(s), but I'm slowly getting there - meaning I'm getting more ready to accept it for what it is and less inclined to look for a "rational" explanation of where/when/how.

Smart move, btw, to end it with a cliffhanger. ;)

The second book was a such a disappointment after the first that I wasn't sure what to expect from book three. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it so much. More of the Gunslinger's world and less of New York; that's what I needed.
