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.

Marco and I first met discussing Wheel of Time on the Hall of Servants group on librarything.com . One of the discussions we had there when Brandon Sanderson was announced as the author who would complete the series was a discussion on what we thought would happen in the last book. We decided to revisit that discussion and see how are thoughts have evolved in the year since we had that discussion and What the fact that we will have 3 books instead of one did to our predictions.
