Many, many, many, weaves of the Power are present in this chapter. Megan provides hilarious commentary on (and in) Texan accents. Mat and Olver bet on horses, the Aes Sedai wear the wrong clothes to go on a day trip to the slums, and a red-belted woman makes a brief appearance. Egwene starts to flex her strategic abilities even as she struggles with self-doubt. Lan arrives at Myrelle, despite going on a bear hunt to get there.

Longtime friend of the podcast Abigail joins us to talk about a chapter that has deep and disturbing significance for both her and Rand. We ponder if Demandred was ever actually interested in Illenya, how much the Tower embassy was set up to fail from the start, and what must be going on in the minds of Bain and Chiad. We also discuss mental illness, trauma, the complicated definitions of “recovery,” and go through an intensive empathy session with respect to The Box. Join the conversation on Di...

Bambi comes back and stands in for a missing Aradia. We untangle the convoluted timeline between Perrin and Rand, consider Min’s position with the Wise Ones, and debate viewings associated with them. Rand visits the school in Cairhien for his last meeting with Fel, who is then inspired to write the infamous bookmark. Tensions between Perrin, Faile, and Berelain lead to the beginning of Min’s self-education. Join the conversation on Discord: https://discord.gg /YtWvCnS Contribute on Patreon: http...

Charlyn of the podcast Unramblings joins us to discuss Min and Rand. We agree that Min is a weapon hidden inside a sexy lamp. There are many kinds of love, but it is rare that putting a relationship on a pedestal is a good idea. Sulin wears an odd costume, and we are pretty sure that we find Steve.
