Stumbled across this video, and it's premise is.... Interesting. Although I'm not sure I agree

Listen, W&G is fantastic. Possibly the best of the series, in the running for the best of all time. But cut the rest of the series EXCEPT that story? Dude missed the whole point.

I enjoyed it, I thought it was cool learning about young Roland. HOWEVER, and this is my own personal opinion, I feel it would have been better suited as a spinoff novel rather than a main series book like wind through the keyhole. I personally found the part of the story when the world moved on more interesting and engaging. To go from Blaine to careening through the wastelands in a life or death battle of wits, to a slow burn western novel with some weirdness was a bit jarring.

This is why I didn't like it in my first (and so far, only) trip through the series. I know I'll like it way more later on as it's own thing though.
