Knife of Dreams: Chapters 23-26
It's the best section yet, hands down!!! While we (inevitably) have quibbles, we are also over the moon -- especially about this Egwene chapter, y'all.

Knife of Dreams: Chapters 3-9
Brace yourselves -- while the pacing is definitely better, we have a looooooootttttt of problems with this section. (Jenn is grateful for the info-dumps, though!)

Knife of Dreams: Prologue - Chapter 2
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!

Crossroads of Twilight: Chapters 27 - Epilogue
Preeti and Jenn made it to the end, and they are VERY MAD ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. But also there are some amazing character moments in here, so that's nice? Regardless, we made it!

Customer Reviews
It’s better together
I really like this podcast. I was looking for an alternative to reading the whole series. I’m 3 books in and it’s great having the hosts excitedly sharing their likes & dislikes of the books, chapter by chapter. It’s like hanging out w/friends. I also appreciate the discussions of writing craft. I’m watching the tv show but the talking about writing techniques means I will also be reading at least the 1st book. Try it out!
A great companion
I’ve been listening in for a while, and on my third re-read. Love the books and the TV show! Sometimes I feel like they are being too hard on the author and show writers, but ultimately the appreciation of the lore comes through. And while I disagree with Preeti and Jen 40% of the time, their opinions help me appreciate the characters or story writing and world building more. So thanks! You’ve expanded my understanding and appreciate of folklore. Though I wish you’d hate things less and have more of a gray scale of dislike instead. Please keep going!
Smart and fun!
Like me, these ladies go back and forth between adoring RJ’s work and being repulsed by the constant character assassination and sexism lurking around every wonderfully written moment. Keep it up y’all, this may be a toxic relationship but boy am I addicted to it! Thanks for all your wonderful literary insight and fun commentary.
