you lucked out honestly. After book 4 (1997) when we werent sure if there was anything more coming, King got hit by a car in '99. It wasn’t until 2003 when we got the next book in the series, and I dont remember there being a bunch of hype beforehand. Just, King releasing stories again in 2001.
A 6 year wait was brutal, and then the last 3 books of the series came out as fast as most people could read them. (2000 pages of story in 2 years)
It was an amazing sprint to the end of a story, that King wasnt sure he was going to be a part of. So it was really amazing to see.
It’s been a very long time since I read them, but book 4 was the peak of the series anyway if I recall correctly. 5 isn’t bad, but it starts going off the rails. And then the last few books are kinda meh (though the very end was good and inevitable).
Just my opinion though. Those first four books were really good.

I’m eternally thankful to have found the series after it was completed. Speculation would have been the death of me otherwise.
