Fun Adventure; Lacks some Twists; Worth a read if you enjoyed the 1st one

This book is the 2nd installment in the King's Dark Tidings series. In contrast to the first book, this is a bit more slow-paced. This approach was taken in order to give the reader greater insight about the characters and the world they inhabit. This is beneficial to the story as it gives the characters purpose and really puts things in perspective. My qualms with this book are really derived from the lack of intricate twists and turns that are usually prevalent within this genre. Maybe it is because I am well read, but I don't enjoy the prospect of always being several steps ahead. I look forward to those shocking moments, like the Red Wedding in GoT or the Betrayal in the Inheritance series. Overall, this is positive installment in an enticing series. I wish there were more twists, but there is still another book left! Still excited to see how this adventure concludes!
