Things go from bad to worse for our Two Rivers teens in chapters 26-30 of The Eye of the World. Nynaeve intensifies her search for her charges, Moiraine once again makes harsh choices, and Thom stays behind to proverbially HOLD THE DOOR so that Mat and Rand can escape the Myrddraal. Swarms of the Dark One's beast servants descend on Perrin and Egwene, and after a temporary reprieve they face a more dangerous foe yet in the Lord Captain of the Whitecloaks.
Besides all this adventure, we chat about the resonances of these chapters with Homer's Odyssey and puzzle over some of this novel's allusions to Arthurian legend. What's Jordan up to here, exactly?
