    Book Five, Part Two: Chapter 15 to End of Chapter 28 | The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

    Book Five, Part Two: Chapter 15 to End of Chapter 28 | The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

    And the books keep coming. The Queens continue reading book 5, The Fires of Heaven, in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, starting with a discussion on whether or not Queen Marissa is truly doing okay. (We think she's mostly fine.) Queen Tay questions whether or not we'll ever get the answer to a mystery that's been bugging her since book 3. Queen Marissa discusses some of Sigmund Freud's theories that are popping up here, there, and everywhere. And, as always, Queen Alix tries to join the discussion without giving away too much about the story. Expect your three queens to discuss the yummy and yucky fantasy food, the low bar of basic consent, the sexiest body part on men (the answer might surprise you!), and how to be a good friend. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 15 to the end of Chapter 28 of Book Five of The Wheel of Time, The Fires of Heaven, by Robert Jordan.

    At the end of the podcast, the Queens play a returning game called "This or That." As usual, we finish with Tay and Marissa's character rankings from this section of The Wheel of Time.

    Book Five, Part One: Prologue to End of Chapter 14 | The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

    Book five is officially underway! The Queens start book five, The Fires of Heaven, in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, jumping right into the story with a trip to the Amyrlin Seat's office. Queen Tay reveals who she's been imagining Nynaeve as this entire time. Queen Marissa is tiring quickly of the misogynistic starts to the novels. And Queen Alix roots for Mat, in spite of him being blindfolded and throwing knives. As the characters move quickly into positions around the map, our Queens are left debating what happened to Nynaeve, what exactly is the age of Thom, and how long has balefire been a very, very, VERY big no. Oh, and Queen Alix, tries not to sing every song she knows while also biting her tongue to keep from spoiling everything that's coming up. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze the Prologue to the end of Chapter 14 of Book Five of The Wheel of Time, The Fires of Heaven, by Robert Jordan.

    Book Four, Part Four: Chapter 45 to End of the Novel | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Another book down. And only ten, no wait, eleven more to go! In this episode, the Queens finish off book four, The Shadow Rising, of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. From the chilling moments in The White Tower to the long, laboured adventures in Eamon's Field, the Queens dive into this one head first. Queen Marissa confirms a theory of hers while throwing out several more. Queen Tay plays a rhyming game that ends in "vein," and also gets increasingly frustrated with every name in this series. And, as always, Queen Alix bites her tongue to keep from spilling all the secrets ever. Expect the Queens to discuss riding dresses, pronunciation, why Rand's a theatre major, and the location of the Forsaken. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 45 to the end of The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan.

    At the end of the podcast, Queen Tay and Marissa share their reviews of the fourth book of The Wheel of Time. After, the Queens play a new game called "Aes Sedai or Lie."

    Book Four, Part Three: Chapter 31 to End of Chapter 44 | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Your Queens are back to present part three of Book Four, The Shadow Rising. Queens Tay and Marissa discuss Perrin and Faile's turbulent and almost-cute-until-its-not relationship, Aviendha's unique wingman-ing, and the most uncomfortable encounter between Elayne and Thom that involves way too much mustache grabbing. Oh, and Rand does stuff too. Probably. Tay reminds us of the Survivalist rule of threes, Alix avoids our eyes while she avoids giving any spoilers – and also learns something about a common saying. Marissa would love to have a little talk with Aviendha about which Pirates of the Caribbean character she finds most attractive. Oh, and we can't forget about Queen Marissa's best drunk Elayne impression. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 31 to the end of Chapter 44 of The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan.

    At the end of the podcast, the Queens play a trivia game! Play along with us and let us know how you did on our discord server. As usual, we finish off with Tay and Marissa's character rankings from this section of The Wheel of Time.

    Book Four, Part Two: Chapter 16 to End of Chapter 30 | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Book Four, Part Two: Chapter 16 to End of Chapter 30 | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Please Note: We experienced some technical difficulties with Taylor's audio this week. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you still enjoy this episode!

    We're back with part two of book four – and our Queens have a lot to discuss. We've got biblical connections, rising tensions, more misogyny, and a growing plot, which, of course, means more theories from both Tay and Marissa. Oh, and what's that? A possible redemption for Rand? Could this be the end of the Rand slander? Between Marissa's ecclesiastical musings at the start to Taylor's eagerness to share exactly how hot Mat is on the cover of her book, anything can happen in this episode. You can expect Marissa to start taking bets on a new theory she's cooked up. Taylor is also confused at Rand's new and provocative form of CPR. Alix, as always, attempts to lead the other two Queens through the novel without spoiling the journey. And, all three Queens lament how awful Perrin and Faile are together, and how quickly Perrin is rushing to the bottom of our fave character lists. In short, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 16 to the end of Chapter 30 of The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan.
     
    At the end of the podcast, the Queens also bring back a game you might recognize: It's Giving. And, of course, we finish off with Tay and Marissa's character rankings from this section of The Wheel of Time.

    Book Four, Part One: Chapter 1 to End of Chapter 15 | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Book Four, Part One: Chapter 1 to End of Chapter 15 | The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan

    Book four has officially started... and the Queens are not particularly impressed. From checking out ankles and bosoms to declaring women obsessed with *checks notes* cleaning, dusting, and ruining men's days, The Shadow Rising embarks to stake its claim as the most misogynistic book in The Wheel of Time series. Beyond that, Alix attempts to share her love of Mat in a less-than-flattering section, Marissa discovers some ecclesiastical connections she wasn't expecting, and Taylor continues to connect the threads with a few more theories about our story. You can expect the Queens to discuss it all: the rising political tensions, the foreshadowed miscommunication trope, and the character growth and decline. In short, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 1 to the end of Chapter 15 of The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan.

Marissa and Tay attempt to keep up with the crew as they fight trollocs, blame Tinkers for their weapons, chase after ethereal (or real?) dogs, and enter a new city of *AHEM* interesting design.

    It's the final battle – for book two, and our Queens are ready to fight alongside, and against, some of the Wheel of Time characters. From ranting about Rand to providing life lessons on what not to say to your friends, Tay and Marissa share their thoughts on the newest developments in this high fantasy series. Tay connects some more prophesies together, Marissa delves into the growing misogyny in the world, and Alix attempts to convey her love for certain characters without spoiling the entire series.

    The Wheel Of Time Series by Robert Jordan | Introducing the World & Characters

    The Wheel Of Time Series by Robert Jordan | Introducing the World & Characters

    Let's get into The Wheel of Time! In this episode, Alix Sedai gives our new readers an intro into the Wheel of Time world. From an overview of the world itself to an overview of characters we can expect to find, this episode is meant for you to dip your toes into the world before you start this 14-book-plus-a-prequel series.

    Taylor and Marissa also give a few blind predictions for the series. Alix goes into a bit more detail about Jordan and the writing process. And, of course, we go on one or two tangential discussions.
