Book Five, Part Three: Chapter 29 to End of Chapter 42 | The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

Things are heating up – and cooling off. The Queens continue reading book 5, The Fires of Heaven, in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, starting with some confusion of the week's homework. From there, Queen Marissa reveals her newest mindset while confessing that she may or may not have been struggling in previous episodes. (Tell her you didn't notice.) Both Queen Marissa and Tay make wages on a potential theory and Queen Tay struggles to support a not-a-girls-girl girl. Queen Alix points out the most outrageously fictitious line in the series thus far. Altogether, expect our Queens to discuss the logistics of steamy activities, how much snow and ice hurts, whether or not Aviendha would survive a bit of water, and the non-sensical setup of the White Tower. And, as always, Queen Alix frightens the other two readers as they fear she may slip out a spoiler. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 29 to the end of Chapter 42 of Book Five of The Wheel of Time, The Fires of Heaven, by Robert Jordan.At the end of the podcast, the Queens get a little unhinged with their newest game: creating hinge profiles for the cast. And, as usual, we finish with Tay and Marissa's character rankings from this section of The Wheel of Time.Content Warnings:We talk about the following in this podcast: Gore & ViolenceMisogynySexismDomestic AbuseExpect spoilers up to the end of Chapter 42 of The Fires of Heaven, as well as The Shadow Rising, The Dragon Reborn, The Great Hunt, and The Eye of the World novels.For those reading along with us, our next episode will come out on March 22, 2024, and will cover chapter 43 to the end of the novel for The Fires of Heaven, the fifth installment in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series.If you'd like to join our discord server, you can do so here.
