And the books keep coming. The Queens continue reading book 5, The Fires of Heaven, in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, starting with a discussion on whether or not Queen Marissa is truly doing okay. (We think she's mostly fine.) Queen Tay questions whether or not we'll ever get the answer to a mystery that's been bugging her since book 3. Queen Marissa discusses some of Sigmund Freud's theories that are popping up here, there, and everywhere. And, as always, Queen Alix tries to join the discussion without giving away too much about the story. Expect your three queens to discuss the yummy and yucky fantasy food, the low bar of basic consent, the sexiest body part on men (the answer might surprise you!), and how to be a good friend. In other words, join along as the Queens of this podcast discuss and analyze Chapter 15 to the end of Chapter 28 of Book Five of The Wheel of Time, The Fires of Heaven, by Robert Jordan.

At the end of the podcast, the Queens play a returning game called "This or That." As usual, we finish with Tay and Marissa's character rankings from this section of The Wheel of Time.
