In this expletive-laden installment, Jenn and Preeti get to ALL THE REALLY STRESSFUL ACTION and also yet another Worst Storyline Ever (why, Robert Jordan!!!!), and decide that they definitely are not going to wait two weeks before recording the next episode. Next week, Chapters 54 to the end!

The Lord of Chaos: Chapters 49-53

In this plot-packed section, Jenn and Preeti get to talk about Mat, the Amazing Race/National Treasure situation in Ebou Dar, and newly-arrived characters -- some familiar, some ... unclear. There were some technical issues this episode, so the audio/volume is a little awkward at points. Apologies! Next episode: Chapters 20-26

A Crown of Swords: 13-19

In which Preeti and Jenn are very happy to spend three chapters talking about Egwene, but still have lots of questions. Next episode: Chapters 13-19

A Crown of Swords: Chapters 10-12

Welp, there were six Perrin chapters, so you can imagine how a lot of this episode is going to sound. But at least we have Egwene and Rand, our disaster child. Next episode: Chapters 10-12

A Crown of Swords: Chapters 3-9

In which Preeti and Jenn tackle the massive Prologue full of absurd villains, two entire Perrin POV chapters, and some very concerning developments. <a href="https://www.tor.com/2022/10/04/reading-the-wheel-of-time-answers-and-questions-in-robert-jordans-lord-of-chaos-part-33/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sylas K.

A Crown of Swords: Prologue - Chapter 2

It's the big finale! So many different players! Perrin gets to be not-the-worst! Other people are the worst instead! It's a lot!!!!

The Lord of Chaos: Chapters 54-Epilogue

In which Preeti and Jenn agree on pretty much everything, including that Mat is one of the few good things about this section, that Robert Jordan keeps making it weird, and that they are VERY NERVOUS about what's coming next.

Next episode: Chapters 49-53

The Lord of Chaos: Chapters 41-48

In this section that had both plot AND character development, Jenn and Preeti had a lot to love and (as usual), some things to hate. Also, Jenn can remember a lace doily call-back but not characters; why!?

The Lord of Chaos: Chapters 33-40

Plot has entered the chat! Jenn and Preeti dig into the new developments, as well as some truly baffling character choices, and are sad there was no Mat POV.
