Kevin's Watch

Okay, some of you have already finished, so don't be a wise guy and pretend you've guessed the end when you merely read it. And don't tell me I'm wrong. I know I'm probably wrong, but I don't want you to spoil it for me.

I'm thinking of Mobius strips. It was very important to Jeremiah, as I've discussed elsewhere. But now [ch3?] Covenant is talking about time in terms of a Mobius structure. Time looping back on itself.

This is a pure guess on my part, since I haven't read anything except the first 80 pages (no trailer, reviews, etc.). What if our characters go back in time again, and leave the Land at a point before they entered? Is there hope that Linden, Covenant, and Jeremiah could live happily ever after in the real world this way? Do they really have to die? Couldn't they reenter their bodies in the real world before the events which killed them?

Z...all I can permissibly say is RAFO. Knowledge is not far away, but do not hurry the wonder of the journey to it.

I so so so so so hope you are completely wrong.
I can't imagine a way to write this that wouldn't be even
less satisfying than the end of Dark Tower.
If that happens in a way I haven't/can't imagine and it makes sense
I will be shocked and awed.
If it happens in any of the ways I can imagine it...
I'll probably burn my copies of all the books.
