The Eyes of the Dragon (1959)
Creators: Liked The Eyes of the Dragon is a fantasy novel by American writer Stephen King, first published as a limited edition slipcased hardcover by Philtrum Press in 1984, illustrated by Kenneth R. Linkhauser. The novel would later be published for the mass market by Viking in 1987, with illustrations by David Palladini. This trade edition was slightly revised for publication. The 1995 French edition did not reproduce the American illustrations; it included brand new illustrations by Christian Heinrich, and a 2016 new French version also included brand new illustrations, by Nicolas Duffaut. At the time of publication, it was a deviation from the norm for King, who was best known for his horror fiction. The book is a work of epic fantasy in a quasi-medieval setting, with a clearly established battle between good and evil, and magic playing a lead role. The Eyes of the Dragon was originally titled The Napkins.

Mixedthis was very well written like I like the way it was written I just wish it was like more fantasy more like Adventure rather than it being just like trying to prove someone didn't actually kill the king
Review 1 of 2
LikedI've been enjoying that but overall like it's just it's kind of slowgoing and I need something that's going to pull me out of reading funk and unfortunately this is not going to pull me out of my reading funk.
Likedeyes of the dragon obviously because you get to know again more about that specific character that is also in the stand showing up in the dark tower and you get to know a lot about that character's abilities and again about this thing about how they jump between different worlds

Stephen KingThe Dark Tower I
The Gunslinger is a dark-fantasy by American author Stephen King. It is the first volume in the Dark Tower series.
The Gunslinger was first published in 1982 as a fix-up novel, joining five short stories that had been published between 1978 and 1981. King substantially revised the novel in 2003; this version has remained in print ever since, with the subtitle RESUMPTION.
The story centers upon Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, who has been chasing his adversary, "the man in black," for many years. The novel fuses Western fiction with fantasy, science fiction, and horror, following Roland's trek through a vast desert and beyond in search of the man in black. Roland meets several people along his journey, including a boy named Jake Chambers, who travels with him part of the way.
