Thank you for this upbeet review. I'm not too familiar with the The Dark Tower series, but Dungeons and Dragons, especially the Choose Your Own Adventure DnD books were one of the main staple of most of my childhood and it probably was one of the inspirations of Kes Allyntahl and Alternate California series.

I have to really be careful not to mix too much modern world stuff in this particular Faerie universe or it comes out looking more of an imitation to Ugly Americans. At the same time not have the world so very backwards in technological and intellectual prowess that it resembles something out Game of Thrones or Mad Max. So I decided there is some futuristic technology, some it is being hoarded by the Gerdin and elves, in other places, the malfunctioning or broken parts are replaced by steampunk technology. The deeper you go into Faerie, only the steampowered stuff can be used since the particles of magic interferes with computer hardware and there's also a species of insect--wire wasp that has a tendency of infesting micro-transistors and circuitry.

Can you tell the specific parts of the story that are lagging? Are these near the beginning?
