Book Six, Part Two: Chapter 16 to the End of Chapter 30 | Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan

Let the Lord of Chaos reign... soon, we hope. The Queens continue along on their journey through 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 also make a little boo-boo with some of the Forsaken's abilities. See a note about that below as well. Beyond that, we also listen as Rand laments over whether or not he's into his cousin, Queen Marissa debates whether Mat is truly Matt enough, and both Queens seek out the answer to an age old question: where are the forsaken now? Rand's redemption arc continues, Egwene's stock plummets, and we learn everything there is to know about falling in love in two sentences or fewer. Join us as Queen Alix attempts to not spoil the whole series as both Queens, Marissa and Tay, reveal all their theories. In other words, join us as we read Chapter 16 to the end of Chapter 30 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 Superlatives, except make it Cosmopolitan. And, naturally, Queens Tay and Marissa share their current character rankings.Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself.

Demondred is not the only person in this world who can hold gateways open but is one of the few who can hold open someone else's gateway when it's closing.
