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!
