This book had a LOT of work to do to make me stop hating Nesta, and it really achieved it. Wow! I loved this book. From the Nesta & Cassian build up (predictable but not unwelcome) to the rise of the Valkyries! The only thing I’d change is I missed Feyre and Rhys.
Oh and the fact that when you’re half way down a flight of ten thousand steps and exhausted, it makes NO SENSE to turn around and climb back up instead of continuing down... or am I missing something here?!
But yes. Great story - loved the addition of The Trove. She’s still dangling the vague Eris / Morrigan back story but I can wait for that. How long is it until the next instalment, please?!

An absolutely magnificent look at the man and his works.

I wanted a book of minutiae and, boy did I get it! What is different about this book vs others on King is that it barely touches upon his works themselves and spends more time with history: his non-book endeavors, how his works have been perceived over time, artists influenced by, and attached academia. I was absolutely riveted. Even those who think they knew all about King (like myself) will come away a more well rounded fan.

Wow! This book is awesome! I plan on using it together with reading Stephen King's books so it will sit on my shelf for awhile. The plan is to read the book and then the pages for that specific book in this Companion. However, I read all the other chapters that don't have to do with specific titles and it was so interesting. I'm not usually a fan of biographies, but he is such an interesting man and it made me so much more excited to start my Stephen King challenge. The author did an amazing job. He made King really easy to relate to... I would love to just sit around with these people and chat! The illustrations included throughout the book are really creepy and neat. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes Stephen King.
