It's natural to be concerned about the narrative style shift in the later books of the Dark Tower series. While Roland's break from his stern exterior may appear unexpected, it is a conscious decision to explore deeper into his psyche. Despite initial skepticism, embracing the series' merits can lead to a rewarding voyage through the Dark Tower universe.
