A rowdy, bawdy drinking song is always gonna win me over. I’m too big a fan of Les Misérables and ZZ Top to feel otherwise. So when The Wheel of Time stopped short — more or less, I mean, this is The Wheel of Time and they had to cram a few other storylines in there just to be safe — to watch Ceara Coveney’s princess-in-waiting, Aes-Sedai-in-training, Black-Ajah-hunter-in-bad-disguise character Alayne perform a little ditty about the quality of the local titties with the double-entendre title “The Hills of Tanchiko”? My notes read, in bold caps, “IT’S VERY WICKER MAN AND IT RULES.”
I reviewed this week’s episode of The Wheel of Time for Vulture.
