Another book down, only five (six with the prequel) to go! From wells of magic in a magic-free town to genius plans by our main characters being executed every other chapter, Queens Marissa, Tay, and Alix dive right into this novel. Queens Marissa and Tay decide to ride out a theory until it's impossible to hold on to. Queen Alix tries to direct without revealing anything new. And, all together, you can listen to the theories we're proven correct about, the theories we have to say goodbye to, and all those in between. In short, listen – and read – along with your favourite Queens as they take on Chapter 20 to the end of Book Nine of The Wheel of Time, Winter's Heart by Robert Jordan.

The Queens do some character alignments for this episode's game, and like always do their character rankings.
