The Wheel of Time turns, and so has the final page of this series for your Queens. In this episode, Queens Tay and Marissa finally become fully-fledged Aes Sedai as they read the last words in this epic fantasy series. Queen Marissa shares secret lore about the magical city of Toronto, Queen Tay refuses to believe that a character's death is a non-death, and Queen Al finally breathes a sigh of relief because she no longer has to worry about spoiling anything. The Queens sentence Loial to better journalism classes, Perrin and Faile to different fates, and swoon over our favourite warder one last time. Prepare for your favourite Queens to finally talk about Chapter 38 to the end of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
Newly appointed Aes Sedais, Queens Tay and Marissa share their reviews of this final instalment. The Queens then transport you to a special game: The WoT Awards As Presented By The Queens of Fantasy Podcast.

The Last Battle has finally come! ⚔️ In a chapter containing 200+ pages, the Queens finally get to read the infamous chapter in Wheel of Time Lore. All three Queens rail against Gawyn's terrible decision-making, while Queen Marissa sits in suspense over her second favourite character. Queen Tay watches each character death with excitement, until one character takes it too far. And Queen Alix starts to sigh in relief, as the end of her secret-keeping journey is fast approaching. Expect blood, sweat, and maybe even a few tears in this penultimate close reading of the Wheel of Time where your favourite Queens read one chapter: Chapter 37 (The Last Battle) of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
The Queens finish this extra-long episode with two returning guests: Matt Detto and Matt Sacco (call him Sacco). We revisit a fan favourite game, "Are You Matt Enough?" and quiz our expert Matts on the adventures of Matrim Cauthon. Beforehand, Queens Tay and Marissa discuss their character rankings. And Queen Al gives her final homework reading assignment: finish the Wheel of Time series.
Buckle up, fellow adventurers. This one is a long ride!

The Last Battle is rapidly approaching, and our Queens are here for the build-up. As they barrel towards a battle to end them all, the Queens become increasingly concerned about the constantly shortening length of Nynaeve's hair. They debate whether or not they can take the Dark One seriously and Queen Tay wishes a different verb was used to describe a specific scene with Rand and the Dark One. Perrin continues to irk them all and the Queens beg Mat to be better than his wife. And, of course, Queens Marissa and Tay finally find Demandred -- and they are not particularly pleased. Mistakes are made, battle plans are changed, and the Trollocs head towards the Fields of Merrilor. So, don't miss out as your Queens discuss Chapter 22 to the end of Chapter 36 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "Sun, Moon, Rising: Character Edition." The Queens decide each other's Zodiac Signs, but if the Zodiac Signs were Randland characters. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay. And Queen Al gives her the easiest homework yet: reading one chapter.

The Queens are rapidly approaching the end of The Wheel of Time – and, in this section, we can see the end barrelling at us. All three Queens aim their pitchforks at Gawyn, who is acting particularly silly in this segment. Queen Al attempts to hold her spoilers for the rest of the series, while Queen Tay tries to understand why our army generals are suddenly making mistakes. Queen Marissa, in turn, is scared and alone, checking under every bed and in every closet for where Demandred could possibly be hiding. Armies are moved, Aes Sedai are attacked, and the Last Battle looms ever closer as your Queens discuss Chapter 9 to the end of Chapter 21 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "DND Character Sheets." In this game, we create character sheets for all the most important characters in the series – and we certainly don't forget Rand in this process. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.

For the last time, the Queens begin a new Wheel of Time book. In this beginning of the end, the Queens rage over theories that should have been right, decide they don't love the legendary shower and might end up defending some female Forsaken. Queens Al and Marissa give us a biology lesson on twins, and Queen Tay cries over Caemlyn's horses and brings out her map. Prophecies are unpacked while Queen Al tries to ignore her co-hosts in the name of spoiler safety. So, gather your armies and meet the Queens to discuss the Prologue to the end of Chapter 8 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
The Queens finish off this episode with a game of Who Would Do What Chore? where we contemplate which household tasks our favourite characters would take on. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.

The penultimate book is officially done, and your Queens are feeling a type of way about it. As Queens Marissa and Tay delve into their newest theories, Queen Al bites her tongue about all the things she wishes she could spoil. Queen Tay wonders at length about some of the newest enemies and monsters we come across, while Queen Marissa basks in the glory of always being right about romances. Expect to read about the hottest one-eyed fool we ever did see, the wicked brilliance of a Queen who is not at all wickedly brilliant, the irritation of Marissa at Egwene and Gawyn, and a deep look into a prophecy that we all know Alix has never read. In other words, listen in on the Queens as they discuss Chapter 48 to the end of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
This episode ends with a fun game we're calling: What Food Are They Bringing? Expect to leave hungry for honey buns and an overcooked casserole. Marissa and Tay share their reviews of the penultimate book in the series, and they end the whole episode by ranking their favourite characters. And we can tell you that we do have a new reigning king or queen topping out this episode's list.

Are you ready for all the action? Your Queens of Fantasy are back, and they're diving into part three of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how much dislike of Gawyn is appropriate, Queen Alix bites her tongue while trying not to accidentally spoil the ending that we're so close to, and each of the Queens is baffled by what counts as a proposal in Randland. Expect to read about one man's fight to stay alive, another man's dream of a beautiful woman, and Suian... who happened to have some very good soup. In other words, listen in as the Queens discuss Chapter 31 to the end of Chapter 47 of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
This episode ends with a game we're calling Name That Playlist. We've got the emo hits, Lan's smexy time songs, Mat's lucky station, and even a few callouts to Mr. Dark One. We end with Tay and Marissa ranking the current list of characters and talking over who performed and who truly did not.

The Queens are at it again, this time reading part 2 of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how bad Gawyn is. Queen Al manages to hold her tongue, even as the other two get closer and closer to the end. Expect new Aes Sedai tests, old rivalries, a growing disdain for a certain Queen who cannot be stopped, a lingering question of where their goofy rogue went off to, and a budding romance that no one wants to read about. In other words, listen in as the Queens discuss Chapter 16 to the end of Chapter 30 of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
This episode ends with a game of Travel Itineraries, in which the Queens suggest where your next Randland vacation could take place. Then Tay and Marissa slot those characters into their ranking lists, and the newest character to scrape the bottom of the list might even surprise you.

Thirteen books down, two to go. In this episode of the Queens of Fantasy podcast, the Queens finish off Book Twelve of the Wheel of Time, and they have a lot of thoughts. Marissa rants about Egwene's plot point and whether or not Gareth Bryne is perfect, perfect, perfect! Tay protects Egwene at all costs -- with all her feelings and no thoughts. You can expect yet another debate about balefire, an argument over the two-time Amyrlin Seat, and a few cheeky comments that would make a Green blush! In other words, get ready to read and discuss Chapter 39 to the end of Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
And, in honour of Halloween, the Queens wrap up this episode with a Halloween Party. Everyone from our main character list is invited, and we're even gonna guess their outfits. Queens Tay and Marissa end the episode by sharing their personal character rankings, as well as their official book reviews.

In the third part of our The Gathering Storm read, the Queens are stoked about a Nynaeve POV, concerned about Rand, confused by Mat and left on a cliffhanger. Queen Marissa throws out quite a few theories, Queen Tay needs consoling over how she really can't do spicy foods, Queen Alix teaches the other Queens a little something, and Tay and Marissa agree they would have left Hinderstap immediately. Alix promises no more spoilers (that we know of) so hold onto your balefire as the Queens chat about Chapter 28 to the end of Chapter 38, Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
Hope you're hungry because the Queens wrap up this episode with a game of Fast Food Orders that is sure to get your mouth watering before Tay and Marissa share their personal character rankings.

Get ready for action! The Queens take on part two of Book 12, The Gathering Storm, in Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson's) series, The Wheel of Time. We have betrayals, we have tedious tasks, we have punishments, and we have a wolf man not missing his wife. The Queens discuss Goldilocks and the Three Inns, Mat's misogynistic monologue, and Min's worst nightmare, all while contemplating a new Wheel of Time world where the relationships are stronger and healthier. From escaped Forsaken to broken oaths, there's a little bit of everything in this one. So, come join your favourite Queens as they read Chapter 13 to the end of Chapter 27 Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
Queens Marissa and Tay finish off this episode off with a warning about a cliffhanger, as well as a good old game of "What's the Vibe?" After, our two reading Queens rank their favourite characters, while Queen Al tries to guess their positions.

Welcome to the beginning of the end! We're officially in the last three books of the series -- and we're excited, we're nervous, and we're going through it together! The Queens bring out the swords in this one, taking aim at bad character decisions and, in turn, each other as they defend their favourites until the end. Queen Marissa fights off the other two Queens at once, Queen Alix reveals a spoiler she let slip in the last recording session, and Queen Tay hates some new theories that got shared. Together, we dive into Perrin's tumultuous marriage, why powerless women are the only ones who get happy endings, and whether or not the Dark One deserves to find his perfect hobby. In other words, join along as we read the Prologue to the end of Chapter 12 Book Twelve of The Wheel of Time, The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.
Your fave royalty finishes off the podcast with a game of Would You Rather, followed by the most tense character rankings we've ever had.

It's a trap! And another trap! Everyone gets a trap! Our characters walk into, spring and set up traps all around. The Queens question where exactly the path of daggers is, should you tell your husband who he's just killed and why someone is tasting Elayne's pee. Queen Marissa explains what an auger is, Queen Tay gets a lesson on the circle of life, and Queen Al is doing her very best to keep the spoilers at bay. Line up at the gateway and prepare for Chapter 27 to the end of Book Eleven of The Wheel of Time, Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan.
Since we've completed this book, Tay and Marissa share their book reviews before we get into a game of The Last, and finish off with fresh character rankings.

It's a dragon, it's a twin in disguise, it's a new low for Perrin. It's the next episode of the Queens of Fantasy podcast. In this one, the Queens discuss whether or not you can touch an ear in public while also wondering whether Perrin or Elayne considered committing the bigger war crime. Queen Tay falls head over heels, yet again, for Mr. Loial and Queen Marissa shakes with rage as Rand recognizes creatures with wings as everything but dragons. Queen Alix sits on the sidelines and tries not to spoil anything as the Queens discuss theories, plot holes, and guilty pleasures. In other words, get ready to pay fealty as your favourite Queens discuss and analyze Chapter 13 to the end of Chapter 26 of Book Eleven of The Wheel of Time, Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan.
In the end, the Queens play a game guessing the characters' guilty pleasures. Queens Tay and Marissa finish the podcast by updating their character rankings.

In this episode of the Queens of Fantasy podcast, the Queens ask the important questions such as: is it a zebra? Who is that man on the 90's edition cover? And how hard is it to get some service around here? Queen Tay is nauseated over a potential romance, Queen Marissa has strong feelings over dragons, Queen Al holds her tongue against the temptation of spoilers and we figure out who is doing what at the rodeo. Get ready to bite a horse's ear as the Queens discuss the Prologue to the end of Chapter 12 of Book Eleven of The Wheel of Time, Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan.
The Queens play a game in which the book characters play a round of Never Have I Ever before Marissa and Tay share their latest character rankings.

Let's see where this all began! The Queens join Morraine, Siuan, and Lan nearly twenty years before The Eye of the World takes place. Morraine and Siuan are baby Accepted students in the tower, and Lan is fighting the good fight everywhere he can. We follow as our two favourite Sedais learn about the Dragon's birth, gain the shawl, prank anyone and everyone, buy several dresses on unrealistic timelines, and learn to fall out of love (unfortunately). The Queens are distraught to learn Lan's backstory is even more upsetting than they originally thought. Queens Marissa and Tay wonder whether they've missed a clue or six, while Alix practices her Aes Sedai composure as endeavors to remain spoiler-free. In other words, join our Queens as they read the entirety of New Spring, Book 0.5 of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.
Queens Tay and Marissa wrap up this trip down memory lane with a full review of the prequel. All the Queens finish it off by playing a game of Yearbook Superlatives.

Ten books down, only four (well, five) more to go! The Queens join the characters as they make good, bad, and terrible decisions. Queen Marissa argues that Egwene makes a terrible choice, while both Queens Alix and Tay worry over their favourite Amyrlin Seat. Every wonders why Perrin left a perfectly viable axe to rust in the forest, and the Queens continue their disdain for Tuon -- even when she's almost a decent character. Expect axe swinging, weevil winnowing, cuendillar weaving, and a good amount of skirt smoothing as the Queens debate when to drop big questions in a courtship. Marissa is still very upset about the weather, Tay wonders whether she's reading a ghost story, and Al bites her tongue to prevent herself from revealing all the spoilers. In other words, join our Queens as they read Chapter 16 to the end of Book Ten of The Wheel of Time, Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan.
Queens Tay and Marissa wrap up book ten by giving a full and honest ranking of the novel. In the game segment of this episode, the Queens give the Wheel of Time play an old fave: It's Giving. They finish off with their character rankings.

Welcome to the tenth book of the Wheel of Time series! We check in with all our characters to see what they were up to during the final events of book nine. Characters get dressed, shoot down viable rescue stratagies and attempt to calculate the consequences of their actions. The Queens lament over the romance between characters that are not together and question the political implications of the bank. Marissa is still upset about the weather conditions, Tay sparks a debate on succession and Alix gives us a lesson on praying mantis care. So saddle up and enjoy the Prologue to the end of Chapter 15 of Book Ten of The Wheel of Time, Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan.
In the game segment of this episode, the Queens give the Wheel of Time books alternate titles and finish off with a shorter-than-usual list of characters in their character rankings.

Another book down, only five (six with the prequel) to go! From wells of magic in a magic-free town to genius plans by our main characters being executed every other chapter, Queens Marissa, Tay, and Alix dive right into this novel. Queens Marissa and Tay decide to ride out a theory until it's impossible to hold on to. Queen Alix tries to direct without revealing anything new. And, all together, you can listen to the theories we're proven correct about, the theories we have to say goodbye to, and all those in between. In short, listen – and read – along with your favourite Queens as they take on Chapter 20 to the end of Book Nine of The Wheel of Time, Winter's Heart by Robert Jordan.
The Queens do some character alignments for this episode's game, and like always do their character rankings.Content Warnings:
