Why The Dark Tower has a Good Ending, Actually

In this video essay, your old pal the Book and Movie Guy dives into the seventh novel of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, aptly named the, uh, well, The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower. I talk about certain elements of the novel which I think make it an (almost) perfect finale from a writing perspective, such as how it ties up loose ends and provides characters with satisfying conclusions to their arcs. I also focus on what makes the ending ending so effective, despite a lot of people not thinking it works. I devote some time to Roland, some to Eddie Dean, some to Susannah Dean, a lil bit to Randall Flagg, a lil bit to Mordred, and you know, other things. So if you're interested in writing, interested in The Dark Tower, and interested in finales/endings, well, hey, I guess you maybe might like this video.
