The Last Battle has finally come! ⚔️ In a chapter containing 200+ pages, the Queens finally get to read the infamous chapter in Wheel of Time Lore. All three Queens rail against Gawyn's terrible decision-making, while Queen Marissa sits in suspense over her second favourite character. Queen Tay watches each character death with excitement, until one character takes it too far. And Queen Alix starts to sigh in relief, as the end of her secret-keeping journey is fast approaching. Expect blood, sweat, and maybe even a few tears in this penultimate close reading of the Wheel of Time where your favourite Queens read one chapter: Chapter 37 (The Last Battle) of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish this extra-long episode with two returning guests: Matt Detto and Matt Sacco (call him Sacco). We revisit a fan favourite game, "Are You Matt Enough?" and quiz our expert Matts on the adventures of Matrim Cauthon. Beforehand, Queens Tay and Marissa discuss their character rankings. And Queen Al gives her final homework reading assignment: finish the Wheel of Time series.

Buckle up, fellow adventurers. This one is a long ride!

The Last Battle is rapidly approaching, and our Queens are here for the build-up. As they barrel towards a battle to end them all, the Queens become increasingly concerned about the constantly shortening length of Nynaeve's hair. They debate whether or not they can take the Dark One seriously and Queen Tay wishes a different verb was used to describe a specific scene with Rand and the Dark One. Perrin continues to irk them all and the Queens beg Mat to be better than his wife. And, of course, Queens Marissa and Tay finally find Demandred -- and they are not particularly pleased. Mistakes are made, battle plans are changed, and the Trollocs head towards the Fields of Merrilor. So, don't miss out as your Queens discuss Chapter 22 to the end of Chapter 36 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "Sun, Moon, Rising: Character Edition." The Queens decide each other's Zodiac Signs, but if the Zodiac Signs were Randland characters. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay. And Queen Al gives her the easiest homework yet: reading one chapter.

The Queens are rapidly approaching the end of The Wheel of Time – and, in this section, we can see the end barrelling at us. All three Queens aim their pitchforks at Gawyn, who is acting particularly silly in this segment. Queen Al attempts to hold her spoilers for the rest of the series, while Queen Tay tries to understand why our army generals are suddenly making mistakes. Queen Marissa, in turn, is scared and alone, checking under every bed and in every closet for where Demandred could possibly be hiding. Armies are moved, Aes Sedai are attacked, and the Last Battle looms ever closer as your Queens discuss Chapter 9 to the end of Chapter 21 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "DND Character Sheets." In this game, we create character sheets for all the most important characters in the series – and we certainly don't forget Rand in this process. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.

For the last time, the Queens begin a new Wheel of Time book. In this beginning of the end, the Queens rage over theories that should have been right, decide they don't love the legendary shower and might end up defending some female Forsaken. Queens Al and Marissa give us a biology lesson on twins, and Queen Tay cries over Caemlyn's horses and brings out her map. Prophecies are unpacked while Queen Al tries to ignore her co-hosts in the name of spoiler safety. So, gather your armies and meet the Queens to discuss the Prologue to the end of Chapter 8 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish off this episode with a game of Who Would Do What Chore? where we contemplate which household tasks our favourite characters would take on. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.

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.

Are you ready for all the action? Your Queens of Fantasy are back, and they're diving into part three of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how much dislike of Gawyn is appropriate, Queen Alix bites her tongue while trying not to accidentally spoil the ending that we're so close to, and each of the Queens is baffled by what counts as a proposal in Randland. Expect to read about one man's fight to stay alive, another man's dream of a beautiful woman, and Suian... who happened to have some very good soup. In other words, listen in as the Queens discuss Chapter 31 to the end of Chapter 47 of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

This episode ends with a game we're calling Name That Playlist. We've got the emo hits, Lan's smexy time songs, Mat's lucky station, and even a few callouts to Mr. Dark One. We end with Tay and Marissa ranking the current list of characters and talking over who performed and who truly did not.

The Queens are at it again, this time reading part 2 of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how bad Gawyn is. Queen Al manages to hold her tongue, even as the other two get closer and closer to the end. Expect new Aes Sedai tests, old rivalries, a growing disdain for a certain Queen who cannot be stopped, a lingering question of where their goofy rogue went off to, and a budding romance that no one wants to read about. In other words, listen in as the Queens discuss Chapter 16 to the end of Chapter 30 of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

This episode ends with a game of Travel Itineraries, in which the Queens suggest where your next Randland vacation could take place. Then Tay and Marissa slot those characters into their ranking lists, and the newest character to scrape the bottom of the list might even surprise you.
