Arrogant? Full of himself? Far too protective? Thinks he can do it all on his own? Thinks he must do it all on his own? Or all of the above?  After Crown of Swords it does get less Rand-y, in that the other players are a much more major part of Winter's Heart and Crossroads at Twilight. |

Yes. All of the above. And too powerful. Powerful characters bother me. I want to see them get their ass handed to them, and after hundreds of pages, they try to defeat the bad guy again, maybe to win, having through all those pages worked on his power. With Rand its like: "Here you go sir, tons of powers, use them when you want, its all unlimited." "...No charge?" "No charge."
<_<
And that the next books focus on other characters... Good. I like Perrin and Mat better. Egwene bothers me... so I kinda... skim her parts. >.>'

Light, he's the bloody Dragon Reborn! The most powerful channeller of the age, in potentially the last age there is! He has to fight someone that even the Creator could not destroy! Of course he has to be frigging powerful!  |

Meh, fair enough... I'll try to make sure I (and anyone else) denotes anything which is spoilery though.

I don't CARE if he's the dragon! I don't care WHO he has to defeat. He's got enough bloody power, lets just fling him out there, and kill the Dark One now instead of waiting for him to come visit.
I like trials and struggles and hard times for characters. It usually disgusts me when power is just plopped into their hands and they can do whatever they damn well please with it, but they don't get to the point and kill the badguys.
I usually don't care if people are powerful, but he... he didn't work at it. And it disgusts me. Just Poof, he can do what he pleases. A character (Yes, I'm dragging TCTC in here because its the closest thing) similar to Rand in power is Thomas Covenant. He could just destroy the whole world with the flick of his wrist... but he doesn't know how. Thats what I like. I want heros to shout at other heros, saying they can't do what they want. I want power, but inability to use power without working towards knowledge.
Heros with unlimited power handed to them now seem very, very shallow and childish. Sorta like the Matrix. But thats half and half. I WANT HEROS WHO CAN'T JUST SUDDENLY USE THEIR POWER WHENEVER THEY WANT TO ANY SORT OF EXTENT! *grumble* :angry:

And where would you recommend me look for such books SS? If there isn't a copy at Waldenbooks, I have to go upstate to Barnes and Noble. I'm just wishing I finished reading the WoT books when I was 11. Because then I wouldn't need to rant about Rand. I think after I finish Crown of Swords I'm gunna read some Thomas Covenant to reverse all the damage Rand did to my mind.  |
