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.

Another book down! The Queens finish Book 8, The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan, and discover that the slog might be at least a little real. After debating the timeline, the Queens discuss everything from Elayne's judgemental POVs to exactly what fanfiction they want someone to write. Queen Alix rants over the start of her least favourite storyline, Queen Marissa explains why Faile no longer has toes, and Queen Tay throws out several theories that are ahead of their times. From searching for a Forsaken to searching for an action scene, the Queens discuss it all. So, join us as we read Chapters Seventeen to the end of Book Eight of The Wheel of Time, The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan.

The Queens dedicate a new game to their least favourite character: Perrin. Created for Perrin himself, the Queens attempt to describe emotions as smells. The Queens also complete their book reviews for Book Eight and provide the final character rankings for this novel.
