Patrons will get to see a behind-the-scenes photo of us recording, via Patreon.NOTE: Here be spoilers! If you're current with the TVOB book episodes, you're good until minute 12:50. After

Knife of Dreams: Prologue - Chapter 2

Tar Valon Or Bust ·

2024/02/14

More happens in almost the first 10 pages of Knife of Dreams than in the entirety of Crossroads of Twilight, and Preeti and Jenn are pretty psyched about it! Action check, weird character choices also check. Apologies in advance for the less-than-perfect audio -- we were recording whilst in a cabin in the woods and did our best, but the closing section in particular is much louder than the rest of the episode, so y'all are forewarned!

Preeti and Jenn are in full agreement on the excellence of this finale, especially Egwene's cathartic triumph. (But Jenn still has quibbles, especially about some lore info-dumps.) There is some wild speculation about Season 3, and Preeti manages to remember most of the Forsaken off the top of her head -- a true feat!This was recorded during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023 but posted once both strikes ended.
