This week on Reading The Wheel of Time, Morgase contemplates her new place in life and stands up to her “lord” when she needs to. Galad and Perrin also contemplate their roles, and what to do about each other’s presence. It’s chapters six and seven of Towers of Midnight. Let’s get to it! Morgase serves tea while Perrin holds a meeting. As she works and observes the assembled group, she reflects on how much she has changed since she abdicated her throne.

Welcome back to Reading The Wheel of Time! This week is an exciting one: The Blight is showing up in new places, Galad runs into Perrin’s forces, Gawyn and Egwene deal with murder in the Tower, and Graendal gets a chance for glory. It’s chapters four and five of Towers of Midnight. Let’s go! The Maidens bring Perrin, along with some of the Wise Ones, Aes Sedai, Faile, Berelain, and a group of Two Rivers men, to see a meadow by the road that has been completely taken over by the Blight.

This week, Reading The Wheel of Time will be covering chapter three of Towers of Midnight, in which Egwene dreams literally, Siuan dreams figuratively, and the Amyrlin finally gets to talk to the Dragon Reborn. I had so many thoughts about this chapter that I didn’t even get to chapter four, we we will cover that next week. Chapter three opens with Egwene floating in the blackness between people’s dreams. She likes to come there to think, and to be reminded of what she is fighting for.
