After a long break, Not the Beginning is back! We're recapping season two of the Amazon Prime show ahead of season three's release.

Lord of Chaos 6-8. The Forsaken do some infighting, we're reintroduced to dream-spying, and Nyneave hears a story about Theodrin's experience with twins.

Lord of Chaos Ch 1-5. Rand and Taim get into a size-measuring contest, A disembodied voice wants to do a murder, Armies make the best punchlines for jokes, and Mat tells an ophan that he smells.

Prologue of Lord of Chaos. Shaidar Haran is confusing to several forsaken, some body-swapping is occurring, the Shaido are up to no good, and we get more viewpoints than we know what to do with.

We're back after a longer than anticipated break, and talking about a romance novel - Chloe Liese's Ever After Always.

The Fires of Heaven 53-End. Lan basically openly weeps, Rand gets a lesson in gender equality, Nyneave gets her head out of a dark place and Rahvin tries to get a new pet dog, but instead revives three whole people.

The Fires of Heaven 40-44. Mat can't help but get involved, Rand overworks himself, and we're still with Valan Luca for some reason.

The Fires of Heaven 34-39. Nyneave and Birgitte have a bad dream, then wake up to a bad reality, Birgette may have been Robin Hood in a past life, and some flaming insane borderlanders make an appearance.

The Fires of Heaven 27-33. Gareth Bryne joins the rebel Aes Sedai because he needs his laundry done, Kadere does some dismembering, and Rand is forced to warm Aviendha with his body.

The Fires of Heaven 8-14. Nyneave needs to take a chill pill, Elayne needs to not flirt with Thom, and Siuan finds the least helpful fountain of youth.

The Fires of Heaven 3-7. Aviendha "hates" Rand, Mat gets lucky in multiple ways, evil dogs attack, and Moiriane changes tactics.

The Fires of Heaven Prologue-2. Elaida has some issues to work out, Rahvin is just awful, Siuan should be a lawyer, and Rand is stared down.

Will reads yet another romance novel: Always Only You, by Chloe Liese. This time, it's a sports romance with way too many nipple references.

The Shadow Rising 54-58. All plots are resolved - Nynaeve gets punchy, Perrin sure does love his wife, and Rand continues to channel the spirit of Muad'dib.

The Shadow Rising 49-53. Rand has a fun dream with some watchers, and does his best Paul Atreides impression. Bayle Domon has an admirer. Nyneave does some sleepy snooping. Loial is true Best Man material.
