Eyes of the Dragon reference / relationships?

[dumakeykate]

Hello constant readers, I just wanted to check should this book be read after the DTs or before? Or does EOTD stand on its own as a story? I know there is a Flagg in the tale.. I have read The Stand and SK sometimes makes references or connections between books, what I am trying to say is I just didnt want to spoil reading the rest of DTs (only 3 to go!).... I saw EOTD on audiobook at a real bargin and was tempted to get it... am I good to go ahead before completing my DT journey. Thanks all. DKK

It can be read as a stand-alone so won't spoil your reading of the DT series if you read it either before or after those.

Hi,

Yes indeed, go ahead and read it, excellent story IMO and it won't spoil DT in any way.

Enjoy (you will!).

Long days and pleasant nights

Thank you, I've clicked the buy it button, hoping it will be on it's way soon... I guess I will work the rest out once I get down and read it.

So does anyone know if King Roland is supposed to be in any way related to Roland Deschain?

I'm reading TEOTD now, and there are no spoilers in it. There are a lot of references that go back and forth between books, but no worries here. There are references to the DT in The Talisman and The Black House, but I don't think there are spoilers there either. Happy reading

I've also wondered this. Thank you for asking.
