Book Seven, Part Four: Chapter 34 to the End of the Novel | A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan
Manage episode 419675693 series 3520811
We'd like to emphasize our trigger warnings throughout book seven. To avoid rape and sexual assault discussions, please see the timestamps at the bottom of this description. Take care of yourselves, and we thank you for listening!
Book seven is finally closed! But, before The Queens can put this baby on their shelves, we've gotta discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly – and there's plenty of each to talk about. From crossing balefire streams to super special Myrdraal who can smell better than any other, this section really said anything is possible. Queen Marissa reads perfectly normal passages that do not have cuddles-and-kisses undertones, Queen Tay suggests a dangerous game for the final podcast, and Queen Alix relishes in her read-ahead privileges while trying not to spoil anything at all. In short, join your favourite Queens of Fantasy as they finish up the last section of this novel, reading Chapter 35 to the end of Book Seven of The Wheel of Time, A Crown of Swords by Robert Jordan.
We finish off the podcast with Queen Tay and Marissa's book reviews. Then, the two readers update their character rankings. And finally, we're joined by two additional members of royalty from Crowned Heathens podcast: Matt Detto and Matthew Sacco. These two Matts join the Queens to play a special game of two names: (WWMD) What Would Matt Do or Are You Matt Enough? In this game, the Queens give the Heathens a situation, and we find out just how Mat(t) they truly are.
If you're interested in finally seeing Queen Marissa's often-referenced spreadsheet of theories, you can do so right here.
