It's that time again! A book finale! And boy, what a finale it is. After the wild events of our previous episode, there is plenty more to chew on here.
Elayne has to deal with new developments in the Kin/Aes Sedai relationship, and finally arrives in Caemlyn to begin her claim in earnest.
We bid farewell to Jaichim Carridin, but before you gett too excited, he's replaced by arguably an even more hateful character in Daved Hanlon.
In Cairhien the Aes Sedai kidnappers under Wise ONes control swear fealty to Rand, and soon after his rooms in are exploded. He goes haring off to find the attackers, spooking the Dashiva, Gedwyn and Rochaid who seem to be the perpetrators. Morr is left to defend Min, but he suffers a sad fate.
Perrin finally meets up with Masema, but while he's away Faile and friends are captured by Shaido. We all know where this is going!
We also discuss Book 8 as a whole and whether it should be counted among "The Slog" or not. Spoiler: it shouldn't!

Ep82: The Path of Daggers, Chapters 24 - 27
Book 8 is almost done and stuff is HAPPENING!
Rand faces the full Seanchan force at Ebou Dar and stuff goes a little wild.
In the White Tower Elaida is bossed about by Alviarin, who in turn has a meeting with Mesaana and starts to get a little ahead of herself...
The hunt for the Black Ajah in the White Tower has begun in earnest and quickly reaps some rewards. While near the Black Tower, things are not much better for the Aes Sedai.
Rand returns to Cairhien where he has to reckon with Min's annoyance at being shelved while Rand chases danger, and then the Maidens for leaving them behind too. He eventually meets again with Cadsuane and they come to an arrangement.
Let's come to an arrangement as well, and to do so, please use the helpful links below!
