We actually recorded this almost 3 weeks ago, but almost at the end Marco had the power go out at his place, and we couldn’t get the last few mins done over the next 2 weeks. Finally decided lets cut it and post it(not like it isnt long enough as our first 60 min plus podcast) and we’ll cover whats left later.

So what do we cover? We decided to break the review into 2 parts. The first is going to give you our thoughts on various characters and how their story arcs progressed(Rand, Egwene) or didnt(Perrin, Mat), and  in one notable case finally progressed but the progress didnt do anything to make the character less of an ass.

We discuss Rand, Egwene, Verin, The Rebel Aes Sedai, Siuan and Gareth Bryne, Mat and his group, Perrin and his group, Aviendha, Cadsuane, Nynaeve, Rands generals. We also discuss absent characters like Elayne, Lan, and Padan Fain.

It should be obvious but we spoil The Gathering Storm in every possible way we could think of, so please dont listen if you havent read.

Anyway drop us a comment, really love reading those.

Also there is a question towards the end of the episode about the Maidens and whats happening with them towards the end of Lord of Chaos on the march to The Wells. I’d appreciate it if we could get some audience feedback on what is going on between Nandera and Sulin at that time.

Gawyns lack of intelligence (both in terms of dumbassery and information gathering)

Galad’s choice to be a Whitecloak

The chracters story arcs, and how they compare to each other.

Are they mirrors of each other?

Their relationships to themselves and other WOT characters.

P.S. I think Ive got the audio levels and stereo issues fixed. Please email us if there is still a problem.

Marco and I met at the Hall of Servants Group at librarything.com and realized just how huge Wheel of Timee Geeks we were. In the run up to A Memory of Light we thought a podcast would be fun to do, so heres our first attempt.

In this episode we cover:

1. Introductions

2. A general history of how we started reading the Wheel of Time, favourite books in the series, favourite characters and so on.

3. An in depth discussion on Lews Therin Telamon and his relationships with the various forsaken.
