We're rereading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels! Why? Because they're so much fun! We recap the events of the story as we go, so you don't have to read along unless you want to. These books are pretty great already, but what we add is a lot of jokes of varying hilarity, and a little insight. We have a great time recording these and we hope you'll have a great time listening. Join us!
Everything is going down at Falme! The Whitecloaks attack! Elayne and Nynaeve launch their rescue attempt of Egwene! Mat summons the Heroes of the Horn! Perrin makes best enemies with Dain Borhold! Oh yeah, and Rand is proclaimed Dragon Reborn by, uh, a giant dragon!

Rand must escape his captivity from the Amyrlin Seat. So he asks Lanfear for help. She helps by blowing up Cairhien. Then Rand, Moiraine, Lan, and Lanfear all team up to go to Falme. Oh yeah, and Moiraine wasn't really stilled, just shielded, and Rand fixes that.

Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne get familiar with the Seanchan, which is unpleasant. Rand hangs out in Cairhien with Moiraine's family, which is awkward. Mat discovers that Min is working for Ishamael, which is nonsensical.

We spend a lot of time watching Moiraine and Verin, neither of whom does much worth mentioning. So forget that sentence. Perrin meets Aviendha, who is pretty cool. Also Nynaeve and Elayne evade the Seanchan, but Egwene does not.

Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne walk right into Liandrin's Seachan trap (the first of many, perhaps). Selene is revealed to be Lanfear when Moiraine runs her through with a sword while Rand is running her through with... not a sword.

Nynaeve faces her Accepted test. Rand and Selene go anti-slumming it in a fancy party to get some fancy wine so Rand can bribe fancy Logain. Mat and Min team up but it turns out Min sucks now.

The Wheel of Time show continues! As do we, your intrepid (re)viewers. Do Moiraine and Lan work out their feelings? Does Rand go grim and violent way ahead of schedule? Does the most Daughter-Heir-est of Daughter-Heirs finally make an appearance? Yes, yes, and oh, yes.

We return once more for the premiere of season 2 of the Wheel of Time TV show! Our feeling for the first season was... less than positive. Will season 2 exceed our basement-level expectations?

...The party of mostly-Emond's-Fielders finally reaches the titular Eye of the World. They meet a very nice and very green man, then they meet a couple of very not-nice Forsaken. Then it's finally time for Rand and Ba'alzamon to settle their theological debate (with swords).

With time growing short, the party turns to the Ways to reach the Eye of the World in time. The Ways are quite nice, if you like pitch blackness and gibbering madness creatures hounding you to death. They do make it to Fal Dara, where they find out just exactly who this Lan guy is.

Moiraine and Lan (and Nynaeve!) rescue Perrin and Egwene from the Whitecloaks. Rand draws the attention of a princess, a prince, a queen, an Aes Sedai, a general, a soldier, and a beggar. That's how Two Rivers folk lie low.

Egwene and Perrin spend some time absorbing immaculate vibes with the Tuatha'an while Rand, Mat, and Thom hasten south on a rivership. When the river crew reaches Whitebridge, things take a turn for the tragic, and Rand and Mat continue on with a lot less glee, man.
