Brilliant post amazing questions!
:heart:1. Favorite protagonist.... I'm torn between 2 (brilliant questions by the way I'm agonizing over the first1!) Sitting at the top of my list would have to be sai Jake Chambers, the first time we're introduced to him he's brave even though he's scared, he's compassionate, intelligent and so very grown-up and yet still he has this innocence that is so endearing! I love how the relationship between Jake and Roland progresses, how quickly he loves and trusts Roland and Roland loves him in return. But most of all I absolutely LOVE how extremely intense his final words to Roland (in the gunslinger) are "Go then, there are other worlds then this!" Easily my favorite line in the whole series!
Running a very close second is definitely Eddie! For someone who literally gets ripped into another dimension (while he is high as a kite and completely freaking out about getting busted smuggling drugs) to not only face Roland (easily the most intimidating and intense character in the series) but to also have to dry out, deal with crazy withdrawals, Roland and learning there are other worlds and still manage to still be who he is (minus the drugs) funny, sarcastic, witty, intelligent person who not only manages to find love after all he's been through but also helps to teach Roland to love, live and laugh again.
Think I might have to answer the other questions another time I didn't realise my answer was quite so long 😂
