Book Seven, Part Three: Chapter 25 to the End of Chapter 34 | A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan

We'd like to emphasize our trigger warnings throughout book seven, and particularly for this episode. Given the frequency of certain content throughout this book – rape and sexual assault, in particular – we are putting out a blanket warning for this episode. Please expect rape and sexual assault content throughout the whole podcast.The Queens have some tough topics to cover in this episode, but we have some laughs as well. The Sea Folk are finally approached, Nynaeve goes for a swim, and Tay and Alix would simply swear an oath and then break it. Queen Tay gets a reality check, Queen Marissa is now an expert on longboats and Queen Al probably screams internally while holding in spoilers. So come along as we read Chapter 25 to the end of Chapter 34 of Book Seven of The Wheel of Time, A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan.The Queens play a game of Housewives Taglines, where we imagine what the Wheel of Time characters would say as their catchphrase in a Real Housewives title sequence. Queens Tay and Marissa update their character rankings.Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself. We talk about the following in this podcast: RapeSexual AssaultConfinementTorturePhysical AbuseEmotional AbuseGore & ViolenceMisogynySexismDomestic AbuseDeathExpect spoilers for the first seven novels in the series: A Crown of Swords, Lord of Chaos, The Fires of Heaven, The Shadow Rising, The Dragon Reborn, The Great Hunt, and The Eye of the World.For those reading along with us, our next episode will come out on May 22, 2024, and will cover chapter 35 to the end of the novel, A Crown of Swords, the seventh instalment in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series.If you'd like to join our discord server, you can do so here.
