Makes me think of the story Steven King told about getting a letter from a fan, sometime around book 5, explaining that she was over 90 and begging him to tell her how it ended, because she didn’t know if she’d live long enough for him to finish the series. He had to decline, explaining that he simply didn’t know yet, and wouldn’t know until he wrote the last page.
It’s oddly heartbreaking, as she probably didn’t; it took him 22 years to complete the series, all told, and 6 or 7 years from her letter to the culmination of the story.

Anyway, your thought reminded me of that.
OP is referencing the Dark Tower series for those who didn’t know.
Yeah, thanks. I meant to reference it.
It could have been better, but I was OK with it. I didn’t hate it like many people did; I just thought it could have been better.
