In this thread I'm expecting spoilers and don't want to be careful myself. So if you don't want to read them, you should wait until after reading the book to read this.
So I remember reading this a long time ago, in the late 80s, and I remember thinking what a creative fantasy adventure. Very inventive and distinctive from other things (I've read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy and this is in a category all its own in my experience). I also see some cross-pollination to the Dark Tower books. As I'm getting to the end, not quite there yet, I see again what I'd seen before: the great creativity and uniqueness of the story.
Anyway, I'm close to the end and looking forward to it.
