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