Book Twelve, Part Two: Chapter 13 to the End of Chapter 27 | The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

Get ready for action! The Queens take on part two of Book 12, The Gathering Storm, in Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson's) series, The Wheel of Time. We have betrayals, we have tedious tasks, we have punishments, and we have a wolf man not missing his wife. The Queens discuss Goldilocks and the Three Inns, Mat's misogynistic monologue, and Min's worst nightmare, all while contemplating a new Wheel of Time world where the relationships are stronger and healthier. From escaped Forsaken to broken oaths, there's a little bit of everything in this one. So, come join your favourite Queens as they read Chapter 13 to the end of Chapter 27 Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.Queens Marissa and Tay finish off this episode off with a warning about a cliffhanger, as well as a good old game of "What's the Vibe?" After, our two reading Queens rank their favourite characters, while Queen Al tries to guess their positions.Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself.
