Song of Susannah is the sixth book in the Dark Tower series, which is to be concluded in the final chapter-Book Seven. Unfortunately I found this ‘chapter’ to be rather disappointing. In most of the other books the action takes place mostly in other worlds, this one takes place almost entirely in New York of 1999 and Maine of 1975 up to 1999. The plot is not moved forward any, we are mostly waiting for Susannah/Mia to have her baby, the one destined to grow up and kill Roland of Gilead, The Gunslinger. Also the inclusion of the author as a character in the story was a bit disorienting-although kind of fun. I also didn’t much care for the abrupt cliffhanger ending. Hopefully all will be resolved satisfactorily in the next book, I hope so I have a lot of time invested in the story and the characters, about 20 years time.
