An ancient ruin and a party splitting up marks the middle third of Robert Jordan’s first entry into his Wheel of Time series, and with it comes some exciting new POV characters to follow. In episode 208, Luke & James discuss Robert Jordan’s tragic death, Brandon Sanderson’s touching and important eulogy, some characters you just shouldn’t trust based on name alone, a good-good boy gone too soon, and James promises to eat a hat should a certain character prove to actually be dead.
