This is the big finish! All our story lines come together again as everyone chips in to help Rand prove that he's the Dragon Reborn (for the second time) and defeats Ba'alzamon (for the third time).

Egwene and Nynaeve get a new assignment: go walk into a Black Aja trap. Just like last time. But this time they know it's a trap, so that's better, right?

We dive into book 3 of the Wheel of Time! These chapters are mostly recap, but there is some good stuff in here. Like the scene where Perrin gets naked and goes wolf-crazy. That's pretty cool.

What a climax! These last chapters of The Great Hunt deliver on what this book has been promising: heroes, legends, glory! It doesn't make much sense, and the characterization is inconsistent, but forget all that. GLORY! We are Alice Sullivan , Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake . Find our other podcasts at armadillo.club !

This is a very dark set of chapters. Egwene gets a taste of what it's like to live among the Seanchan invaders, and it's an awful experience. It's not much more fun to read about it.
