Queens of Fantasy Podcast

Let the Lord of Chaos reign – finally! The Queens wrap up the sixth book in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, Lord of Chaos. Along this adventure, we get a little serious discussing some more sensitive topics that are coming up. Please see the trigger warnings below.

We start with Perrin and Faile marching into Camelyn to meet Faile's parents, who are so totally normal. From there, we join Min and Rand as they explore the benefits of perfectly normal and platonic friendship. Queen Tay learns about Alix Sedai's biggest phobia, Queen Marissa wonders how Rand has managed to climb up her character ranking list. Queens Marissa and Tay discuss a few new theories. Expect us to discuss Perrin's horrific sniffing smell powers, the terrible name that is the Mirror of Mists, and Myrelle's newest warder. On top of that, Queen Alix attempts to not spoil the whole series every time she speaks. In other words, join us as we read Chapter 45 to the end of Book Six of The Wheel of Time, Lord of Chaos, by Robert Jordan.

At the end of the podcast, we wrap things up with a game of songs, where we pick the perfect songs for our characters. And, naturally, Queens Tay and Marissa share their current character rankings, as well as a final rating for the entire novel.
