📖 Section Covered: Part 3, Chapter 10 Subchapters 1-6
📢 Episode Summary: In the latest Book Club for Wizard and Glass Tadd and Peter enter the final chapter of Part 3 and in this we have Coral Thorin now in custody of Susan at Seafront and like everyone else this day she hits Susan for some of the barbs she throws. The Traveller’s Rest is packed with more than 200 people but it is as quiet as a wake until Rhea and Cordelia come in and start to froth the entire group up against Susan and say they must paint her hands, Charyou Tree. Sheemie is following the path of Susan, and first runs afoul Capi but eventually gets to Seafront and runs into Olive Thorin who wants to help Susan. Then we join Roland inside the ball and get some of the biggest pieces of information about The Dark Tower to date and we see things we have already seen but are in Roland’s future. Then we see Alain punch Roland and get him separated from the ball.
