We're in it now, friends. The stretch of chapters that have alwasy to me represented the concept of the slog.

And I'm happy to report, I didn't mind them. But at least one of us has very strong feelings about the chapters and the book, and we explore that with vigor! 

We touch base with Faile who is fending off adversity on every front.

Then we join Elayne and aviendha as they go about the business of managing the Kin, Windfinders and Aes Sedai. During a siege. While trying to gain support for the crown. And then a bath happens and more Seafolk rudeness.

Let us know what you thought of these much discussed stretch of the story!

And we're back! Albeit with 2 of the three a little under the weather, so brace yourself for some croaky voices at points!

But we soldier on, much like Perrin on his unrelenting persuit of his kidnapped wife. There is some good news on that front, but at teh same time Perrin needs to manage his own reputation, the various forces travelling with him, Masema and his army of madmen and to top it all off, a huge pack of 50 darkhounds circling his camp.

It's a tough gig, but so far he's keeping it together. Let us know what you thought of his situation and our recounting thereof!

It's our triumphant return after an 8 week break!

And we kick off book 10 with a BANG.

After working through a healthy amount of listener contributions and callbacks, we join Mat in the aftermath of their escape from Ebou Dar in the confusion caused by the freed Windfinders.

Mat must navigate the conflicting priorities and under currents of all his entourage, including Egeanin, Tuon, the Aes Sedai he freed, and of course, Valan Luca.

We also get an insightful chapter from Furyk Karede, a downright likeable Seanchan Deathwatch Guard.

Seasons greetings from the three of us,

We're back with a brand new book! And this one is already shaping up to be a bit of a test. We're surprisingly divided on the prologue here, which makes for some good conversation. 3h of it!

We're treated to a scattershot of points of view, 7 of them over 80 pages. Rodel Ituralde joins the narrative, we check in with Eamon Valda and the surviving Whitecloaks, Gabrelle is observing a change in Logain, Yukiri is navigating heavy under currents in the White Tower, Gawyn feels cornered, Bashere sees things intensify in Andor when Caemlyn is besieged, and finally Samitsu and Sashalle plot, meet Loial and Krldin and save Dobraine from almost certain death.

It's a lot of setup, and some of us got more out of it than others, so let us know what you got out of it via any of the social media links below:

It's the big finale! And we mean, BIG. HUGE.

Rand takes care of some unfinished business in Far Madding, but not without a price. By the time the women pull him and Lan out of the coals it's too late, and Rand has taken some more emotional knocks.

But he's all business as he leads the now combined party from Far Madding to everyone's favourite cursed city to perform the single greatest feat of channelling performed in this age. And the Forsaken won't have it! Battles ensue...

Too late now for anything but beginning...

Mat and the gang prepare to escape Ebou Dar. They do all the recon, make some plans, then make some new plans, then change those plans in an all action episode!

We also quickly check back in with Rand who is still hunting traitors in Far Madding, and who receives a big tip off on where to find two of them...

Welcome back friends!

Join us as we peer over Shallon's shoulder and watch Cadsuane run roughshod over the Far Madding Leadership. 

Later it's Rand's turn to be Cadsuaned and he finally has a big chat with Allana.

Verin almost steals the show with a last minute change of plan, but when Merilille returns with news from the Borderlander army Elayne springs into action and negotiates a deal with the 4 rulers to help her claim.

We're getting ready for the big finale!

Another mixed bag of treats this week with loads of rare POVs!

The Seanchan Seeker, Almurat Mor, makes an appearance and scares the bejsus out of Bethamin, a lame Sul'dam.

She runs to Egeanin who's lounging around with her butler boyfriend and smuggler extraordinaire, Bayle Domon.

We have Rand kicking ass in Far Madding and Padan Fain with a subtle cameo.

And finally we have Cadsuane and an entourage of Aes Sedai and Seafolk show up right outside Far Madding as well. Whooooo, wonder how this is going to go!

It's all happening in Ebou Dar!

Mat's party for the next leg of his journey is taking shape. Alludra, Teslyn, Joline and Tuon are all around him, plus Thom, Juilin, Olver and his closest men from the Band.

Tuon is definitely taking an ineterst in Mat, but Mat can only think of getting out of Ebou Dar and how to squeeze Alludra's secrets from her. Literally.

Oh, and a Gholam tries to kill Mat, only for Jain Farstrider to join his party.

We're gearing up for the great escape from Ebou Dar!
