12/11/23 • 138 min

Horns go missing, the Aes Sedai continue plotting in Rand's head, Mat juggles some eggs, and Dena gets introduced to a fridge. The Queens are back with part two of The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan and Marissa and Taylor have colliding theories and mutual feelings on some of the happenings in this novel. With some great attention given to heavy foreshadowing, Tay takes great pride in breaking down this big, beautiful world. Marissa struggles with some more misogynistic tropes that seem to be popping up more and more often. And, as always, Alix Sedai attempts to explain and summarize without spoiling the other two Queens. In other words, our Queens summarize Chapter 20 to the end of Chapter 40 of The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan.

Our Queens close out the podcast with a game of Yearbook Superlatives, and it's in contention for the most entertaining game they've played yet. As always, Tay and Marissa rate their fave and least fave characters so far.

Expect spoilers for The Great Hunt novel from the prologue to the end of chapter 40, and The Eye of the World novel in full.

For those reading along with us, our next episode will come out on December 21, 2023, and will include Chapter 41 to the end of the novel for book two, The Great Hunt.

Tay points out every piece of worldbuilding and foreshadowing that is woven into this great novel. Marissa talks about a two-page love scene for more than two minutes. And, as always, Alix Sedai is left giggling and wordless, as she tries not to give away the novel's next twists and turns. Please expect laughter, ranting, and some Rand slander – and a little bit of everything else – as these Queens summarize the Prologue to the end of Chapter 20 of The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan.

It's the final battle – for book two, and our Queens are ready to fight alongside, and against, some of the Wheel of Time characters. From ranting about Rand to providing life lessons on what not to say to your friends, Tay and Marissa share their thoughts on the newest developments in this high fantasy series. Tay connects some more prophesies together, Marissa delves into the growing misogyny in the world, and Alix attempts to convey her love for certain characters without spoiling the entire series. Expect some more Rand slander, more Nynaeve love, some new opinions on Mat, and the analysis of some great – and not-so-great – scenes from this novel. In other words, our three Queens summarize and analyze Chapter 41 to the end of Book Two: The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan.

At the end of the pod, Marissa and Tay share their reviews of books one and two. Then, to lighten the mood and enlighten each other, they assign Taylor Swift eras to each character – while Alix reminds them they don't need to fight about it. And, as always, the two end off with their lists of favourite to least favourite characters in the series.
