The tone in Dark Tower is constantly changing. Usually when I have a conversation about it, people either liked the first half or the second half, but rarely both. I’m no exception, I loved it though Wizard and Glass, and hated the rest.
Dark Tower, its very different to anything else I’ve seen and is a fantastic ride from beginning to end though it does have its up and downs, fast and slow parts.
Wheel of time. Don’t get me wrong, dark tower is good too, but I have to say whereas wheel of time comes off as a masterpiece written by a master of his trade, Dark Tower strikes me as Stephen King specifically trying to write the kind of story he always wanted to but knew he could never sell so he just said “fuck it, I’m Stephen King, I write it, they’ll buy it.” And he just wrote
Dark Tower is my second or third favorite series, ever. I’ve tried to read WoT and have stopped several times. I know it’s worth it, but I can never find the right time. DT is a quick read, as well.
@Michael i would urgebyou to pick it back up there is alot of vharacter growth and a biy more action up til book 7 or 8 then there is some pretty heavy plot development. Im close to finishing the series for the first time and im already stoked for a reread
Can’t go wrong with either, as long as whichever one you don’t choose to read first you read next, because they are both great and worth the time investment.
Wow thank all of you for your imput! I plan on sinking my teeth into both at some point i just want to get into one of them as soon as i finish this 4th lightbringer book. Ive heard great things about both and am excited to plunge into some new worlds!
Impossible choice! Just flip a coin ?
They’re both good, if not a little long winded and drawn out… but worth reading.

Consider that.

Dark Tower! Wheel of Time is pretty good and I might finish someday, but my interest was waning by the end of book three.
@Michael book 4 is where it gets really good
@Cameron good to know, thanks!

dark tower ! there not in the same class
Wheel of Time!!! I bloody loved it!
Haven’t read dark tower, but heard great things, I can vouch for WoT though. I can’t recommend the series enough!
Get to the Wheel before TV series adaptation starts
Honestly? Read the Memory, sorrow, and thorn series

The wheel of time is the greatest story ever told
