Fantasy for the Ages

Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan"s The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well. The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

So, our poor girls. They've been so wronged. Returning to the Tower after months of trials thanks to that nasty Liandrin, instead of the warm reception they expected they've been treated as runaways and are awaiting punishment. And punishment they shall have - but wait, there's more. With Aes Sedai, there's always more, and we get a huge dose of this through these three chapters. And they learn things are definitely not just black and white - there is definite gray in the mix!Join us on Discord for
