Guess what adventurers? We have a new Amyrlin Seat. 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 had some technical issues with Alix's audio. We apologize for any inconveniences!

On this journey, we read as Egwene comes clean and makes some amends before getting the weirdest news ever. Queen Taylor points out some discrepancies between the audiobooks and the physical books. Queen Marissa calls Alix Sedai out on being a big cheater pants. Queens Marissa and Tay disagree on whether a specific scene with our favourite visionary is cute or so not. Everyone's shocked as Rand's redemption arc continues to actually look like an arc. Expect us to discuss new Taim theories, whether or not this section is SJM coded or not, and a celebration of another theory checked off the list. And, on top of that, Queen Alix attempts to not spoil the whole series every time she speaks. In other words, join us as we read Chapter 31 to the end of Chapter 44 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 dedicated to answering the hard-to-answer questions Robert Jordan was asked over the years. And, naturally, Queens Tay and Marissa share their current character rankings.
