Chapters 16-20 of The Eye of the World take us out of Baerlon's frying pan into the fire of Shadar Logoth—a dead city of tempter ghosts and grasping, all-devouring mists. We discuss our enjoyment of these action- and horror-packed chapters...but also our mounting frustration with the three stooges Rand, Mat, and Perrin as they continue to flout common sense and wizardly warnings in favor of messing around with obviously cursed catacombs at midnight.
We also take a detour into the gender politics of the Two Rivers and an interesting factoid about Robert Jordan's relationship with his fictional women. Questions are raised, as are eyebrows.
Content warnings: brief reference to nonconsensual bondage.
