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. In this game, your Queens award characters with the highest and the lowest of honours that they can think of. To cap it all off, Queens Tay and Marissa discuss their character rankings.
