Gather round, young adventurers, for we have a story recap for you! We are officially (but not literally) halfway through the series – if we don't count the prequel. To celebrate, we're reviewing everything we've read so far in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. From the first moments we stepped into Eamon's Field to the last moments we saw of the crews' journeys through Randland, we've witnessed the fall and rise of Rand, the hair-tugging, braid-pulling, stubborn-babe ways of Nynaeve, and the ascent of Perrin from King of the Wolves to Lord of Eamon's Field. Mat's gone from our silly little dagger stealer to a dice-throwing general. Egwene's received the job promotion of a lifetime with a resume of a toddler. And, Min, Elayne, and Aviendha continue to dance closer to their future marriage to the man doomed to go mad.
In this episode, join the Queens as they unpack this journey, recapping each character's progress. Queens Tay and Marissa exile Alix Sedai to discuss all the theories they've had – and a few new ones. Then, all three Queens join forces to answer some amazing questions from our listeners about our thoughts, predictions, and reading adventure. Finally, like all good Queens of Fantasy pods, we end it with a game. This time, our game has the Queens describing each book very, very poorly.
So, gather round all, and join the Queens in this mid-series recap of The Wheel of Time.
