Book Thirteen, Part Four: Chapter 48 to the End of the Novel | Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

The penultimate book is officially done, and your Queens are feeling a type of way about it. As Queens Marissa and Tay delve into their newest theories, Queen Al bites her tongue about all the things she wishes she could spoil. Queen Tay wonders at length about some of the newest enemies and monsters we come across, while Queen Marissa basks in the glory of always being right about romances. Expect to read about the hottest one-eyed fool we ever did see, the wicked brilliance of a Queen who is not at all wickedly brilliant, the irritation of Marissa at Egwene and Gawyn, and a deep look into a prophecy that we all know Alix has never read. In other words, listen in on the Queens as they discuss Chapter 48 to the end of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.This episode ends with a fun game we're calling: What Food Are They Bringing? Expect to leave hungry for honey buns and an overcooked casserole. Marissa and Tay share their reviews of the penultimate book in the series, and they end the whole episode by ranking their favourite characters. And we can tell you that we do have a new reigning king or queen topping out this episode's list.This Episode Contains Spoilers for the Throne of Glass Series Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself.
