Amen to heavytabbs comment. MORE RAND!!! Mat may be a great character but when it comes to pure awesome, it is rolling off Rand in waves

Awesome!! Mind Blowing :-@ Love that it reconnects with the first book and the character of Bunt. I remember him being mentioned by Gawyn in book three or so and I think it's brilliant to see him back again, to show how Rand has touched the ordinary man. What goes around comes around and Rand is finally thanking him for his help. Plus, I always thought it strange how Rand set out in Bk one to go to Tar Valon and never got there and now he is finally going to the centre of everything. COming from Dragonmount just makes it more Epic
